Takeaways
We're stepping into conversations about what's showing up in the news.
These problems have reached a national crisis point.
Teachers report losing instructional time.
An outburst fractures the rest of the period.
Burnout reflects a workload depletion.
Secondary traumatic stress is often mislabeled as burnout.
Teachers need support, not just to manage students.
We routinely expect teachers to be responsible for parent engagement as well.
Teachers and paraprofessionals are absorbing abuse, stress, and trauma.
None of this replaces systemic change.
