LEADERSHIP COACHING: TIME FOR A CHANGE? — Jimmy Casas

https://www.jimmycasas.com/blog/leadership-coaching-time-for-a-change

Over the last few weeks I've spoken to several educators who are thinking about leaving their current position.

I worry that our teachers are exhausted. Many are tired and others are fried. Most educators I know have been burning the candles at both ends, working harder over the last five months than they have ever worked.  Every day they feel like a first year teacher or administrator, re-learning a
