What plans are in place in your school or district to help avoid teacher burnout this year? Even typing this question, I can’t help but think back to the end of really tough days in my classroom. Or how it felt at the very end of the school year when my energy was pretty much zapped. But prevention is the key to avoiding a problem, including teacher burnout.
If you are a regular listener of my Easy EdTech Podcast, you might have caught a recent bonus episode about teacher burnout. In the episode, Ian Cohen, Founder & CEO of TARA, and I chatted about ways to avoid teacher burnout. You can find the full episode here or press play below to listen as you explore this blog post.

Access an Intuitive Planner
TARA gives teachers access to a robust and intuitive planner. This planning tool makes creating standards-aligned units and lessons super simple. You can connect related resources and pull together the perfect plan for an upcoming unit or series of lessons.
Use a Task Manager
If you’ve followed my EdTech tips for ten days, ten months, or the past ten years, then you know I love staying organized and saving time. Of course, a big part of that is using a task management tool, and TARA gives you access to a special task manager and specialized calendar designed for teachers.
Get and Give Streamlined Support
TARA makes supporting teachers quick and easy for instructional coaches and school leaders. They can jump into TARA to provide lesson feedback, observations, evaluations, and meetings, all from a single dashboard.
