According to a Gallup survey, K-12 educators have the #1 burnt out profession in America, with burnout rates now escalating into a full-blown crisis that threatens school cultures and student success
Prolonged work stress causes talented educators to emotionally withdraw, underperform, or exit the profession entirely. Quit rates and the resulting turnover is increasing the impact on teacher shortage because most open positions are now caused by teachers leaving before retirement
With districts spending nearly $25,000 to recruit each new teacher, (expenses related to separation, recruitment, hiring, and training), overall district budgets are becoming even more stretched
