Teachers who feel supported and listened to are more likely to stay in the profession. So what can district leaders do to boost these supports?

Start the conversation with your team using our discussion guide. For EdWeek’s The State of Teaching Project, we surveyed more than 2,000 teachers about their morale and asked what would help improve it. We distilled three key findings about what stresses them out into this downloadable resource.

This guide includes discussion questions to help jump-start your conversation, and related links to other stories to help you dig deeper.

Use these insights to help your team develop a plan about levers you can pull to improve their morale.
