Narrative:

The BE58 was inbound from the east on a 270 degree heading out of 4000 ft descending to 2000 ft. The SR22 departed ZZZ on a heading of 090 degrees direct VOR. The SR22's initial climb rate was out of 2000 ft 5 mi of ZZZ. In my judgement; the climb rate of the SR22 plus the descent rate of the B58 would have provided more than adequate separation. The SR22 slowed the climb rate out of 2500 ft. The developmental was made aware of the situation and turned the BE58 slightly left. I instructed him to do a lot more to fix the situation. He issued the SR22 a 30 degrees left turn and advised the BE58 of the traffic. The BE58 reported the SR22 in sight. Visual separation was then applied. Factors: I reported to work at XA00L; and went into a meeting with my supervisor. We discussed non related issues; then he informed me that he was going to change a different developmental's days off to match mine and assign me to be the primary trainer. I expressed my unwillingness to train at this time and said 'no I don't want to; I am burnt out on training for a while.' I continued to plead my case; but my opinion was dismissed. My 'burn out' comes from the fact that I have been assigned a steady stream of 'hard cases' and 2 that actually washed out; while other trainers got the easier trainees or were allowed to opt out of training; and were allowed to choose developmentals. The meeting came to a close and I was immediately assigned to train a developmental that I have not worked with in 16 weeks and was unfamiliar with his progress. The operational error occurred 45 mins into the session.

Title: BTR INSTRUCTOR CTLR EXPERIENCED OPERROR AT 3500 WITH OPPOSITE DIRECTION TFC WHEN STUDENT WAS LATE IN ISSUING CLRNCS AS DIRECTED.

Narrative: THE BE58 WAS INBOUND FROM THE E ON A 270 DEG HDG OUT OF 4000 FT DSNDING TO 2000 FT. THE SR22 DEPARTED ZZZ ON A HDG OF 090 DEGS DIRECT VOR. THE SR22'S INITIAL CLB RATE WAS OUT OF 2000 FT 5 MI OF ZZZ. IN MY JUDGEMENT; THE CLB RATE OF THE SR22 PLUS THE DSCNT RATE OF THE B58 WOULD HAVE PROVIDED MORE THAN ADEQUATE SEPARATION. THE SR22 SLOWED THE CLB RATE OUT OF 2500 FT. THE DEVELOPMENTAL WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND TURNED THE BE58 SLIGHTLY L. I INSTRUCTED HIM TO DO A LOT MORE TO FIX THE SITUATION. HE ISSUED THE SR22 A 30 DEGS L TURN AND ADVISED THE BE58 OF THE TFC. THE BE58 RPTED THE SR22 IN SIGHT. VISUAL SEPARATION WAS THEN APPLIED. FACTORS: I RPTED TO WORK AT XA00L; AND WENT INTO A MEETING WITH MY SUPVR. WE DISCUSSED NON RELATED ISSUES; THEN HE INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE A DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL'S DAYS OFF TO MATCH MINE AND ASSIGN ME TO BE THE PRIMARY TRAINER. I EXPRESSED MY UNWILLINGNESS TO TRAIN AT THIS TIME AND SAID 'NO I DON'T WANT TO; I AM BURNT OUT ON TRAINING FOR A WHILE.' I CONTINUED TO PLEAD MY CASE; BUT MY OPINION WAS DISMISSED. MY 'BURN OUT' COMES FROM THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A STEADY STREAM OF 'HARD CASES' AND 2 THAT ACTUALLY WASHED OUT; WHILE OTHER TRAINERS GOT THE EASIER TRAINEES OR WERE ALLOWED TO OPT OUT OF TRAINING; AND WERE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE DEVELOPMENTALS. THE MEETING CAME TO A CLOSE AND I WAS IMMEDIATELY ASSIGNED TO TRAIN A DEVELOPMENTAL THAT I HAVE NOT WORKED WITH IN 16 WKS AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH HIS PROGRESS. THE OPERROR OCCURRED 45 MINS INTO THE SESSION.
