Two-thirds of teachers are satisfied with their workplace.
The strongest predictors of teacher satisfaction are opportunities for professional growth, collaboration with peers, and the flexibility to ensure students do their best.
47% of teachers report feeling burned out “always” or “very often.”
Teachers work an average of 50 hours per week, with 40% spent on non-teaching activities.

 

Only 52% of teachers say they have everything they need to help students succeed.
This is even lower for those serving students of color (49%) and in urban schools (46%).

What Teachers Need to Thrive and Help Their Students Succeed in the Future

To improve student outcomes for Gen Zers and beyond, the Walton Family Foundation partnered with Gallup to ask nearly 2,000 public K-12 teachers what they need to stay and thrive in the profession. By providing educators with the resources, autonomy, and opportunities for growth they need, schools can retain talent and prepare students for a brighter future.
