This 3-credit course will allow you to learn the secret to extinguish and escape one of the most deadliest chronic illnesses in the workplace - BURNOUT.
Click Here to View SyllabusLAUSD Course Code: NA-09-20UMass Global Course Code: EDDU 9087
When reading article after article in news outlets across the United States, teachers are not only exhausted, but many are leaving the teaching profession altogether. This course is amazing in that it is a one of a kind class that focuses just on K-12 Teachers who are feeling the burnout during the Covid19/Omicron Pandemic and beyond.
Although there are a number of professions (such as tuna fishing, air traffic control, oil drilling, lumber hauling, etc) that exhaust workers, there is no profession like the teaching profession where one must know how to be both an educator, a counselor, a shoulder to cry on, a pandemic prevention specialist, and a education professional - all at the same time. Add to this the experience of a pandemic with having kids at home and one's own health to deal with, you find yourself with a recipe for disaster.
This course explains how the solution to teacher burnout is very similar to the solution that fighter pilots must acquire when they are experiencing a G-force on their chest. Take this class and preserve your profession.

Here's what some teachers had to say about how Personalizing Learning impacted their teaching career:
“All of the information was of great value. I found many of the videos very inspiring. There were many examples of best practices, and it makes me believe I can be a better educator. Some of the standouts for me were: Chris Emdin, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Rita Pierson, the school that showed community-based learning, and Dan Meyer’s talk regarding math practices.”
