But how tough is it\u2014really?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so tough that teachers are now the most burned-out employees in America.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so challenging that fewer than 1 in 5 Americans would encourage a young person to become a K-12 teacher.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s so hard that teacher vacancies are up 51% over last year.<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>Though I work with educators almost every day and witness many teachers\u2019 front-line struggles, I know what I see is just the tip of the iceberg. \u201cWe are caught in a negative feedback loop in which the stress of the job worsens the teacher shortage,\u201d says Jay Schroder, educator and author of <em data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/teachfromyourbestself.org\/\">Teach From Your Best Self<\/em>. \u201cThis in turn increases the strain on the system, accelerating burnout and inducing more teachers to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schroder, a veteran teacher with 24 years of experience in the classroom, believes that teachers today are facing a \u2018perfect storm\u2019 of challenges. Helping them navigate and even thrive in these conditions\u2014without waiting for things to change at the institutional level\u2014is the goal of his book and training program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, the current education system is unsustainable,\u201d he says. \u201cEducation needs to be re-envisioned in a way that prioritizes the well-being of both students and teachers. However, we don\u2019t have time to wait until education leaders implement the systemic changes necessary for both teachers and students to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on his own experience and that of the hundreds of educators he has worked with, Schroder believes it is 100% possible to thrive despite these challenges. But as he admits, the challenges are indeed formidable.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Why teachers are so stressed<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When I asked Schroder why teachers are reaching a breaking point, he gave me a laundry list of reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Too much to do and not enough time to do it in (which is why a new Rand Corporation survey found that teachers work an estimated 53 hours a week, and still don\u2019t ever feel caught up).<\/li>\n<li>Teachers teach large classes of students often packed with students who have extra needs.<\/li>\n<li>Some of these students have been impacted by trauma and social pathologies which is contributing to the surge of student behavior and mental health issues impacting the classroom. The problem has become so severe that the American Academy of Pediatrics has called the mental health of our young people a national emergency.<\/li>\n<li>The pressure on teachers to close pandemic caused learning gaps.<\/li>\n<li>The politicization of education and the way educators are being unfairly characterized through misinformation.<\/li>\n<li>The shortage of qualified educators, which adds even more pressure on the teachers who remain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just teachers who lose out in this scenario. \u201cA study involving 1,102 German elementary school students found that teachers\u2019 emotional exhaustion correlated with significantly lower student mathematics achievement,\u201d says Schroder. \u201cAn early systematic review of studies exploring the consequences of teacher burnout on students confirms the correlation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schroder points to the physical effects of stress as a huge factor in teacher burnout and student underachievement. \u201cWhen overloaded with stress, as many teachers are right now, our limbic system triggers a reaction that sends us into a survival mode, diverting resources from our prefrontal cortex to our muscles, lungs, and heart,\u201d he explains. \u201cIn the short term, a teacher in this state is likely to be impatient, irritable, and reactive. In the long term, chronic stress leads to a host of mental and physical health issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the neurons in our brains that mimic the firing of people around us, called mirror neurons, can add to a negative classroom experience. \u201cWhen both teacher and student are operating from the lower, reactive parts of the brain, student resistance to learning increases as do classroom management issues,\u201d says Schroder. \u201cThis in turn drives teachers more deeply into stress and frustration.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>The positive side<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>However, the fact that students have mirror neurons can also be a positive thing. If, says Schroder, the teacher is able to continuously teach from her own best self whole brain, the mirror neurons of her students will fire in sync with that, making them more likely to be in their best self learning brains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen students are in their best self learning brains, the teacher\u2019s job becomes easier, which makes it easier for the teacher to retain their best self brain,\u201d he says. \u201cFrom this best self state, a teacher is more effective, having more fun, and more likely to be in touch with their passion for teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than giving teachers more training on instructional methods, Schroder believes the key is to help build their capacity to retain this best self in the face of all of the challenges. This requires a major mindset shift, from <em>doing <\/em>to <em>being<\/em>. \u201cTeachers don\u2019t need more classroom techniques and strategies,\u201d he says. \u201cThey don\u2019t need more to do. What they need are approaches to teaching that allow them to bring a centered, clear, relaxed version of themselves to the challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>The self-care question<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>How do teachers attain that ideal version of themselves? It won\u2019t be solely through the practice of self care. In fact, it can be extremely unhelpful to tell stressed teachers to practice self care. \u201cThis push for \u2018self care\u2019 has left a bad taste in the mouths of the teachers I work with,\u201d agrees Schroder. \u201cThe problem is that \u2018self care\u2019 gives teachers yet another thing to do on a to-do list that is already impossibly long. It also implies that, if a teacher is feeling burned out, it\u2019s because they\u2019re not doing enough to take care of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This narrative\u2014which throws all the responsibility for their stress back on the teacher\u2014is one of the things that has driven us into this educational crisis and is threatening to drive the whole education system off a cliff, Schroder says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSelf care is obviously a good thing, but the challenge we face in education isn\u2019t due to the fact that teachers aren\u2019t doing enough to care for themselves. It\u2019s because we\u2019ve created an unsustainable education system that takes advantage of the good people who are getting up every day to work inside of it and teach our young people.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>How teachers can help teachers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To maintain a healthy, resilient psychology, says Schroder, human beings need to receive positive messages from one another. The need for these messages increases with the intensity of the work being performed. Without such messages, people feel unseen, unappreciated and taken for granted\u2014and well on their way to becoming depleted and demoralized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the challenges in education is that teachers work separately, so they don\u2019t get to see each other\u2019s brilliance,\u201d says Schroder. \u201cThis makes it difficult to offer meaningful positive messages to one another. Still, the need is so crucial, it\u2019s important for teachers to go out of their way to offer encouragement in the form of positive messages to one another. And it\u2019s important for administrators to be generous in giving specific, positive messages about the good things they observe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schroder points to research that shows how reflecting the positives we see in others is a powerful way to help them access their best selves. \u201cReceiving positive messages can function as a kind of protective shield for teachers, helping them retain their best even under stressful conditions,\u201d Schroder notes. \u201cIdeally, school cultures would be transformed into places in which staff members, administrators included, took the time to be curious about the struggles and triumphs of one another, and offer one another the heartening messages educators need to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Combating negative messages<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong> <\/strong>The need for positive messages is especially pressing with the recent negative narrative about teachers that has sprung up in the media. \u201cThe education profession tends to filter for the best of humanity,\u201d says Schroder. \u201cEvery new teacher I work with wants to bring their best and is inspired by the possibility of helping young people. They know going in that the pay is low and the job is stressful; they become teachers because they want to dedicate their lives to something larger than themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s so tragic to see the vast numbers of teachers who are quitting. \u201cIt really takes a lot for a teacher who has made the decision, gotten the education, taken out the student loans, put their hearts into being the best teacher they could be, to reach their breaking point and decide to leave the profession,\u201d says Schroder. \u201cFor the teacher, it\u2019s a heart-breaking decision. For society, it\u2019s a preventable tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Untapped resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Schroder and I agree that America\u2019s teachers are one of our greatest untapped resources. Why untapped? Because, says Schroder, no one can perform to their potential when they are constantly overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine an education system in which vitally inspired, passionate, refreshed and invigorated educators were empowered to reform education so that it brings out the best in everyone\u2013students, staff, administrators, and adult volunteers alike,\u201d he says. \u201cIn such a system, student achievement would go up simply as a byproduct of what happens when people are operating at their best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, stressed teachers lead to stressed students. But thankfully, the opposite is also true. It\u2019s just one more reason that we need to rethink the value of teachers\u2014and support them accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/markcperna\/2023\/11\/07\/rethinking-the-value-of-one-of-americas-greatest-untapped-resources-teachers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers are the most burned-out employees in America.
