• 2 – Hobbies and outside interests aside from our jobs, keep us sane and focused. What are some of your hobbies and outside interests?

A2: Blurred lines between professional and personal interests. I really enjoy #oklaed on a personal level like a hobby. https://t.co/nL1TWBlnem

• 4 – How do you find joy in an educational climate that sometimes is anything but joyful?

#oklaed A4: Joy is in the efforts we make – helping others and ourself. Controlling against ego, I find joy in all addressing our curiosity. https://t.co/PKHFwnISYk

— John Bennett (@jcbjr) May 15, 2017

A4: seeing the successes of my kids and staff in the face of the struggles we face together. #oklaed

• 5 – What is your favorite type of donut? This is has nothing to do with burnout I’m just curious.

A5: Most anything that comes in a dozen. Krispy Kreme glazed please. They have Groupons. #oklaed

• 6 – How does teacher burnout affect student learning?

A6: Teaching is fun. First and foremost, when there is no joy or love, it's time to take a mental health day for you AND THEM. #OklaEd https://t.co/NpwRDdP4Lx

@meghanloyd A6. Question back at you. What is better, an old frustrated T or an unqualified incompetent T? #teachershortage #oklaed

— Andy Gower (@givepullorpitch) May 15, 2017

A6 Ss deal w Ts that aren't passionate or patient.Ts don't want to be there and neither do Ss #oklaed

• 7 – Summer is quickly approaching, how are you going to make time to relax and refocus?

A7 – rethink curriculum; it's relaxing to know the year ahead is planned. #oklaed

A7 We're planning a family vacation to Yellowstone. Looking forward to lots of disconnected time together in the mountains! #oklaed

• 8 – Teachers that find ways to spend time with each other are happier and actually like being around each other. What are some ways that you and others in your school site or from other school sites help each other out when the burnout struggle is real?

#oklaed A8 #EdCamp.. they helped to save me https://t.co/njwDmFuMOX .. also following these two: @jcorippo & @christycate

— urbie delgado (@urbie) May 15, 2017

A8 — find a colleague you trust to vent with. With nothing leaving the room. Just saying things out loud is a safe place is golden. #oklaed https://t.co/eWf63IV9pF

• 9 – What do you plan on drinking poolside? Again this has nothing to do with burnout, I’m just curious.

Currently trying to find the recipe for "drank." I'm told it's good. #oklaed https://t.co/eEex0CucGB
