Educator's Equilibrium State as a Contributing Factor to Learning Facilitation

Anita B. Genovea

Because of the sudden shift in educational environments, many teachers are vulnerable to stress. Completing various school reports, creating contextualized learning materials, writing scripts for television and radio-based classes, recording and audio, and video editing, and participating in a variety of online seminars to stay current on new trends in new normal education are all part of the job. All these activities, on top of printing learning modules and checking and evaluating learners' assessment results, clog teachers' already-overburdened schedules. They also conduct frequent home visits to check the students' academic development. When we look further at the role of teachers nowadays, we see that they are physically overworked because of the many duties that must be performed every day in school. Some of us get tired of the hard job at hand at times. Despite this, we are learning to be resilient daily to achieve our purpose: to continue and offer an excellent education to children in the face of a national health crisis. We remain hopeful and enthusiastic about recovering the strength required to keep our hearts and minds focused on the brighter side of life and our contribution as teachers, no matter how fragile we grow in our quest for public service. Maintaining a balance between a teacher's work and personal or private life is important to a teacher's strength and happiness as a person, a teacher, and a member of the community. When it comes to giving essential school staff tasks, school administrators must become acquainted with their limitations to guarantee that teachers are not overloaded at work. Family members, on the other hand, should provide unconditional support to teachers who are through major changes to their normal school activities and responsibilities at this time. Friends and colleagues may also be able to provide advice, especially if the teacher is already showing symptoms of overwork and stress. Going out for a little break now and then allows a teacher to regain their strength and optimism in life. Thus, for us to have a high-quality basic education service, we must address teachers' well-being, since they are regarded as the frontlines of the educational service, especially during these difficult times when learners are unable to attend school. Let us work together to protect our teachers, who act as ambassadors of truth and liberty.
