Why
New Teacher Mental Health?
We all know teaching is stressful, but here's what the research says:
-
46% of teachers report high daily stress -- the highest rate among all occupational groups, tied with nurses (Gallup, 2014)
-
Teacher stress is directly linked to poor teacher performance and poor student outcomes (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2016)
-
Teacher turnover costs schools $7.3 billion per year (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 2007)
