We wanted to succeed in improving the quality of the educational services provided by our organization, preventing the professional burnout of our teachers. We aimed to acquire knowledge of recognizing the main symptoms and causes of burnout as well as skills to prevent and deal with it in our workplace.
Our school employs students from a variety of cultural backgrounds whose main characteristic is the difficulty of adapting to school life and their low student performance. His teachers, who have long experience and the ability to handle a variety of pedagogical issues, declared in the majority of them to be emotionally tired, with difficulties in responding to the expectations of their students and with an obvious negative and even cynical attitude towards them. Acknowledging that the above statements referred to symptoms of burnout, our school decided to involve a group of its teachers in an educational activity abroad in order to acquire knowledge and skills that, shared with the rest of the staff, would lead to the restoration of reduced social functioning and low professional performance of its teachers as well as introducing innovations for the continuous improvement of its educational services
