Teacher Talk: Setting boundaries

On today's show...

Our Teacher Talk educators discuss boundaries in three parts: with your co-workers (1:00 to 15:26), with students (15:26 to 29:40) and with your workload (29:40 to 48:49).

Gina Benz, a teacher in Sioux Falls, has spent 25 years in public education. She's seen burnout on the horizon of her career several times.

She says the best way to avoid burning out is by establishing healthy boundaries.

Today's episode covers how to start setting boundaries in three parts. Find the full conversations on SDPB's "Teacher Talk" podcast.

Jackie Wilber, Ed.D, is a faculty member and director of the Center for Student and Professional Services at the University of South Dakota School of Education.

Benz teaches Teacher Pathway and AP English Language at Roosevelt High School in Sioux Falls. She is also on the adjunct faculty at several colleges and universities, and she is a recipient of the Milken Educator Award.
