The Mentor Teacher’s Burnout-Shield Guide:

Written by Jonathan Winnick (hey, that's me!), a 22-year LAUSD veteran and mentor teacher, who has collaborated with hundreds of educators and coached dozens of new (and veteran) teachers through the "burnout traps" that push so many of us past our limits.
I, too, have fallen into such traps, many times, but I've developed a mighty shield of strategies, and made it through (relatively) unscathed... and I’m still thriving into my 23rd year!

When you sign up, you’ll discover:

  • The 5 biggest mentoring mistakes that drain your energy (and exactly how to avoid them).

  • A behind-the-scenes look at the negative outcomes nobody warns you about.

  • Boundaries that stick—without feeling cold or abandoning your mentee.

  • Simple frameworks to coach confidence instead of creating clones.

  • Tools to keep mentoring productive, positive, and burnout-free all year.

"I can’t believe this absolutely invaluable course is free!"
