The reality for teachers, and a pathway ahead

Educator morale is low and trending downward

Teacher morale is low, and according to the EdWeek State of Teaching survey (2024), it’s only getting worse.

Systemic pressures, political tensions, overwhelming workloads, and stagnant salaries all contribute, while many educators experience limited ways to grow in their profession.

Many educators feel stuck in their teaching careers and don’t know what to do

“Teachers are less satisfied with their jobs than U.S. workers overall. About 3 in 10 teachers say they may look for a new job this school year” (PEW, 2024).

Burnout, stress, and anxiety are just a few of the challenges many teachers face.

Teachers have lost the joy that inspired them to join the career.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Many teachers are finding themselves at a crossroads—unsure how to bring more joy to their current role or wondering if it’s time for something new.
