Teacher burnout is a serious problem in the United States, with 90% of teachers reporting feeling this way and 55% of educators considering leaving the profession in the next 5 years. Schools have the power to mitigate some of these bleak realities. Research shows that when educators are able to model the foundations of wellness for their students, when a foundation of regulation and relationships becomes central and essential to all learning, and when practitioners are supported, schools can be the whole-child healing-centered educational environments that our students and adults need.
