Education seems to have both an increase in standardization and teacher burnout. The loss of control could leave teachers feeling unimportant in their own classroom. This article explains how one teacher used reflection to find and create autonomy, reigniting her passion for her job. Through celebration, reflection, and authentic connection, teachers can reclaim their joy and stay invested in teaching. Authentic teaching keeps teachers in the field and students motivated.
