Teaching is emotionally demanding, and burnout happens when stress outweighs support.
SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) isn’t just for students, teachers need it too!
Simple SEL practices like mindfulness breaks, peer support groups, and setting healthy boundaries can help educators recharge.
Schools that prioritize teacher well-being create happier classrooms where everyone thrives.

Teacher Burnout and SEL

Absolutely! Teaching is not just intellectually but emotionally intensive, and without proper support, burnout becomes a real risk. It's so important to recognize that Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) isn’t only for students hteachers need it just as much.Incorporating small but meaningful practices like mindfulness moments, supportive peer circles, and clear boundary-setting can make a big difference in daily well-being. When schools actively value and invest in teacher mental health, they foster a culture of care and resilience.
A supported teacher is a more present, energized, and effective teacher and ultimately, that leads to more joyful, connected classrooms where both students and educators can flourish.
