Description

Teacher burnout is a rising issue that can be caused by excessive workload, emotional exhaustion, and lack of support from administrators. I discuss findings about the causes and effects of burnout which include the impact on teachers’ well-being, student academic outcomes, and teacher retention. There are ways that it can be prevented such as improved workplace conditions, mental health support, and policy changes. Addressing the problem is the first step to make a change for a healthy and effective education system.
