Prevent Teacher Burnout with Better Parent-Teacher Conferences

Understanding the Impact of Teacher Burnout

Teacher burnout is a pressing issue in the education sector, leading to high turnover rates and reduced teacher morale. A recent survey by EdWeek found that over 70% of teachers report feeling stressed regularly. Parent-teacher conferences, though essential, can often exacerbate this stress due to their logistical complexities.
