Being a burned out teacher is hard but being a burned out teacher with a disability presents unique challenges to face every day. We all know that teachers give so much of themselves to their teaching so it’s especially important for teachers with disabilities to set and hold boundaries in order to take care of themselves. In this episode, we get to chat with Hayley Spira-Bauer about her experiences teaching with disabilities and how she navigated the two in tandem. She is sharing how she experienced burnout while teaching and the need for self-advocacy among teachers who often feel pressured to meet their students' needs while neglecting their own. We’re also looking at how teacher vacancies impact overall teacher well-being and how she is still making an impact on students and teachers through her current role. Hayley Spira-Bauer is the Chief Operating Officer of Fullmind as well as a New York State certified teacher. She spent the tenure of her teaching career in brick and mortar schools in New York City, working in a public school in the South Bronx and and then a charter school in Harlem for a decade. She has been with Fullmind for seven years doing equity-based work around the United States, supplying state-certified teachers to schools to solve various pain points and is currently the Chief Operating Officer/Chief Academic Officer. Hayley is very, very deeply committed to leaving this world a better way than when she came into it.
