Practicing Self-Care to Avoid Burnout

Brew a hot mug of tea (or perhaps coffee if tea isn't your thing) and unwind with this Tea for Teaching podcast episode about Burnout where Dr. Rebecca Pope-Ruark talks about the realities of burnout and the need for self-care.

The Tea for Teaching podcast is a series of informal discussions of innovative and effective practices in teaching and learning. This podcast series is hosted by John Kane (an economist) and Rebecca Mushtare (a graphic designer). John and Rebecca run the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching at the State University of New York at Oswego.
