Empower Teachers. Elevate Outcomes.

Unlock research-based PD that improves retention, builds capacity, and supports sustainable school culture.

Burnout doesn’t stay in the staff lounge. It ripples into classrooms, leadership teams, and communities. When teachers are overwhelmed and unsupported, it shows up in instruction, student behavior, parent communication, and culture-wide instability.

Strategic Snapshot

  •  84% of teachers say work-related stress impacts their teaching.
  •  50% say they’ve considered leaving in the past year.
  •  It costs $18,000–$25,000 to replace just one teacher.
  • A 10% increase in turnover was associated with a loss of 2–3 months of learning, particularly in math.
  • Increase in student absenteeism
  • Decreased student achievement
  • Increased behavior issues and lower classroom engagement

Teacher burnout isn’t just an HR issue.
It’s a system failure in slow motion.

The Educator Burnout Snapshot helps leaders see where that shift is happening across teams, translating emotional, physical, and identity-based strain into clear, actionable insight.

Resilience isn’t built through endurance: it’s built through awareness.
