There is no greater loss for a school than to lose a good teacher to burnout. Become a more effective school administrator by helping your teachers stay motivated and vibrant! Rekindling the Flame offers a researched-based but practical approach to recognizing, managing, and preventing one of the great tragedies of education—teacher burnout.

The challenges of education today can send even the best teacher spiraling down and out. Savvy administrators spot the signs of teacher distress and take preventative action before it is too late.

  • Recognizing burnout – origins and symptoms
  • Personality profile of the susceptible teacher
  • Organizational and administrative issues
  • Strategies for recovery and prevention
  • The principal's role
  • Effective ongoing management—tending the flame
