School districts are having an increasingly hard time keeping their talented young teachers in the profession because of burnout at an early age.  Teresa Lasley, a Washington, D.C. high school teacher, was facing that crisis prior to the start of the 2019-2020 school year for the second time in 15 years.



“The crisis of turnover is not just a teacher problem, it’s a community problem,” Lasley said. “The presence of teacher burnout perpetuates a constant questioning for educators of their life work and passion to impact future generations.”

 googletag.cmd.push(function () { var mapping1 = googletag.sizeMapping() .addSize(, [, ]) .addSize(, ) .addSize(, [, ]) .build(); googletag.defineSlot('/21922006127/zenger/inarticle2', [, , ], 'div-gpt-ad-1767121-4').defineSizeMapping(mapping1) .setTargeting('sect', 'article') .setTargeting('page_url', top.location.host) .setTargeting('url', top.location.pathname) .setTargeting("post", 33793) .setTargeting('author', 'Mark Gray') .setTargeting('photographer', '') .addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1767121-4'); }); 

After watching several of her peers and colleagues struggle with similiar anxiety, exhaustion, and leave the education system altogether she decided to develop a program. Lasley is now a catalyst for trying combat teacher burnout by developing a focused, intentional and tailored, or FIT, instruction program for academic leaders created by the Instructional Gym.
