Boundary-Setting for Educators: Protecting Your Peace from Teacher Drama and Workplace Negativity (EP. 40)
Feb 21, 2023
Is negativity impacting your teacher burnout?
Have you ever been around a colleague who is constantly negative? Maybe someone who talked negatively about others around them, was spreading gossip, or just never stopped complaining long enough to look for a solution to a problem? As if teaching isn't hard enough as it is, dealing with constant negativity or workplace drama is a real vibe killer. So how do you want to navigate this negativity?
