This segment is a terrific reminder that teachers must develop an internal mechanism that reminds them to do what is called in technical operations a, “health check.” This is a total operational check out of a particular system, specifically in aircraft maintenance, at a specifically planned interval, when a thorough operational check of the system and related components are checked out for continued service. Teachers/instructors need to build in a similar checklist of items to review so they can maintain their own personal – HEALTH. And as the leader of the class, or as I like to say, “Chief Executive Facilitator,” they need to remind their students that they each need to do the same.
Now days, each of us is walking about with a pocket computer i.e. a “phone” in which it has a calendar of which can be set up for periodic reminders. Set some dates and live by those dates! Empowering yourself to focus on your well-being should be a purpose worthy of a small investment in time to ensure you and your students establish the objective of avoiding burden.
