Over 55% of educators report experiencing high stress daily, threatening their ability to sustain their roles. This stress stems from factors like large class sizes, lack of resources, student behavioral issues, and administrative pressures.

1 in 3 teachers leave the profession within their first five years, creating instability in classrooms and communities. This constant churn disrupts student learning and creates a sense of instability within schools.

Burnout doesn’t stop at educators—it deeply impacts students, school culture, and the wider community. Burned-out teachers are less effective in the classroom, leading to lower student engagement and achievement. This also creates a negative school environment, affecting morale for both students and staff.

Traditional solutions narrowly focus on workforce development, neglecting the emotional and mental health of educators. These solutions often miss the root causes of burnout, such as lack of support.

Schools lose up to $20,000 per teacher in turnover costs—resources that could instead be invested in building a thriving, supportive environment for educators and students alike.

Prioritizing educator well-being isn’t just a necessity; it’s a long-term investment in the health of schools, communities, and future generations.
