School districts have provided increased mental health training for staff, classroom support as well as resources and systems aimed at identifying burned out teachers and getting instructors connected to help.
"It's all pretty bad," said Leigh McLean, the primary investigator at the Teacher Emotions, Characteristics, and Health Lab at the University of Delaware School of Education, who has found levels of depression, anxiety and emotional exhaustion among elementary school teachers that are 100 per cent to 400 per cent higher than before the pandemic.
"If you can imagine a teacher has a classroom where students are engaged, they are helping each other and there is a positive supportive culture, their job satisfaction is likely to be higher," Jon Cooper, the director of the Colonial School District's health and wellness division. "They are less likely to leave the profession, and in turn, that supports their well being."
An elementary school in Indiana starts the week with Mindful Mondays, where teachers guide their classes in deep breathing techniques. There are also Thoughtful Thursdays, where a student is called on to write a letter to a staff member to show appreciation, and Friday Focus, when students and teachers talk about self-care.

A job that gives you most of the summer off and weekends would be fantastic. Also every single holiday spent with friends or family. Pension and health insurance as well as paid sick leave. I’m stressed just thinking about it .
