Keeping the Spark: Managing Energy in Trying Times

As we wrapped up a trying Fall semester, faculty colleagues gathered for a CTL workshop titled, Keeping the Spark: Managing Energy in Trying Times. After taking the time to briefly celebrate semester “wins,” we spent the time exploring where our energy went this semester, both for faculty and students, discussed the characteristics of burnout, and explored ideas for mitigating burnout in the coming year. Below are the materials from the workshop, including the group’s brainstormed reflections on the prevalence of burnout on campus and its potential impacts to teaching, mentoring, and learning as well as those ideas for mitigating it in 2021.
