Burning Out Teachers

What can one do about a teacher they suspect is on the track to burn out?
1. Tell them they are working too hard.
2. Just let them go. There are teachers like that and that is their style. Take advantage of their efforts while they last.
3. Join in on their idealistic pursuits, perhaps relieving some burdens, but more critically energizing them by your explicit support.
