#10. The Surprising Reflection Strategy That Reduces Burnout & Boosts Teacher Joy

This week on the TenX Teaching Podcast, we’re joined by Joseph Hyun, former teacher and now leader at TeachFX, the app that gives educators powerful, nonjudgmental insights into their teaching practices.

 

In this conversation, we shift the narrative around teacher reflection. Because let’s be honest — teachers are world-class overthinkers. Reflection often turns into self-criticism, and observation data can feel like a running list of everything we “should” be doing better.

 

But Joseph brings a completely different lens: What if reflection could actually make you feel lighter, more confident, and more connected to your students?

 

What if this November, you didn’t just say NO to extra commitments… …but also said NO to the inner critic that narrates your teaching day? Joseph walks us through how TeachFX highlights the moments teachers rarely notice — the things they’re already doing that spark joy, engagement, and authentic learning.

 

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why teacher reflection often defaults to self-critique (and how to interrupt the cycle)

  • High-impact practices TeachFX helps teachers notice

  • Why, with limited time and emotional bandwidth, teachers should invest in practices that lift their energy — not drain it

  • A realistic approach to reflective growth that doesn’t pile on guilt or overwhelm

  • How TeachFX makes your strengths visible so you can build on what’s already working

This episode is for you if: You want to grow as a teacher without tearing yourself apart in the process — and you’re ready to say NO to the perfectionism that steals joy from your classroom.
