\nNew survey reveals teachers\u2019 thoughts about the current academic year and what <\/i>schools have done right since the start of the pandemic and what improvements can help<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A national survey conducted by Lexia Learning<\/a>, a Cambium Learning\u00ae Group<\/a> company, found that the majority of educators (71%) are worried about teacher burnout during the 2022-2023 school year.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThat concern is warranted; in a January 2022 National Education Association (NEA) survey<\/a>,<\/span> 90% of NEA members reported that feeling burned out was a serious problem.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe high probability of burnout comes at a time when educators believe students will require more individualized instruction to achieve at- or above-grade-level performance. About 75% of educators think that more one-on-one student-teacher time would help their students in the 2022-2023 school year. More than half of educators (56%) feel their students would need increased access to classroom specialists (e.g., special ed teachers, subject-matter specialists, school psychologists).\n<\/p>\n

\nBut while they anticipate that their students will need extra academic support, many educators worry whether schools will have the resources for even routine operations such as cafeteria operations, custodial services, transportation activities and the like. Survey findings revealed 52% of educators were concerned about teacher shortages and even more (66%) were concerned about non-teacher staff shortages (e.g., bus drivers, custodians, teachers\u2019 aids, substitute teachers).\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe prevailing circumstances of staff shortages, combined with students\u2019 need for support, makes teacher burnout a very real prospect,\u201d said Lexia Learning President, Nick Gaehde. \u201cEducators will need an array of support as they strive to help students recover from pandemic-related learning loss.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nLexia\u2019s survey also explored educators\u2019 thoughts on how best to persuade teachers to remain in the profession. A huge majority of educators (83%) believed the key to teacher retention was higher pay. The second most popular recommendation (71%) was smaller class sizes. Only 55% of educators feel that schools have been compensating teachers fairly.\n<\/p>\n

\nDespite their concerns, most educators (66%) are optimistic about the upcoming school year. They also shared reflections on how well their schools have supported them and their students since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority feel that their school has done well with digital tools to support personalized learning. Over three-quarters of educators (77%) cited their schools\u2019 investment in classroom technology (e.g., education programs and mobile devices) as a positive action while 65% expressed appreciation for technology that kept learning going outside of the classroom.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIt\u2019s gratifying that so many teachers have been able to facilitate their work,\u201d said Gaehde. \u201cWe need to ensure that digital learning tools are made available to educators who do not yet have access. And we also need to ensure that that technology helps to provide the real-time, personalized, and in-depth feedback that they\u2019ve said their students need. Teachers have an enormous responsibility even in the best of times, so they deserve full-fledged support as they strive to resolve this crisis in education.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
