The World Health Organization defines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mental-health\/burnout-definition-world-health-organization\">burnout<\/a> as a \u201cchronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.\u201d It\u2019s important to clarify that burnout is a medical diagnosis resulting from compounding factors caused by someone\u2019s work and their relationship with work. As such, it is an outdated notion to assume that using only better self-care practices or stress management will eliminate burnout. While it will help, it will not fully resolve most people\u2019s feelings of burnout.<\/p>\n<h3>What can burnout look like for art educators?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"special-list\">\n<li>Budget cuts<\/li>\n<li>Too many classes\/students<\/li>\n<li>Students pulled from art regularly<\/li>\n<li>Limited planning time<\/li>\n<li>Covering and subbing for core content classes<\/li>\n<li>Canceled or compromised classes or programs<\/li>\n<li>Absorbing, managing, and supporting students\u2019 emotions<\/li>\n<li>Lack of resources and support<\/li>\n<li>Negative feelings or increased mental distance from one\u2019s job<\/li>\n<li>Reduced professional productivity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<p>While the symptoms of burnout are serious and need attention, they are considered temporary states.<\/p>\n<p>Demoralization, on the other hand, is a complex process. Philosopher of education, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bowdoin.edu\/profiles\/faculty\/dsantoro\/\">Doris A. Santoro<\/a>, conducts empirical research examining teachers\u2019 work concerns. She explains that demoralization happens when \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/annenberg.brown.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/EdResearch_for_Recovery_Brief_19.pdf\">a value-conflict [is] experienced as a result of policies, mandates, and school practices<\/a>.\u201d When teachers feel \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/annenberg.brown.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/EdResearch_for_Recovery_Brief_19.pdf\">unable to access the intrinsic rewards of their work, believe they are complicit in wrongdoing or find that they are incapable of meeting their ethical obligations<\/a>,\u201d their ability to do meaningful, value-based work is compromised.<\/p>\n<h3>What can demoralization look like for art teachers?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"special-list\">\n<li>Inability to meet students\u2019 learning needs<\/li>\n<li>Restrictive curriculum<\/li>\n<li>Academic achievement being prioritized over emotional needs<\/li>\n<li>Witnessing the effects of racism on students and staff<\/li>\n<li>Observing unjust actions committed by educators<\/li>\n<li>Feeling betrayed by administrators and education policymakers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-429034\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-4-1-1024x512.png\" alt=\"attendees at workshop\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What are teachers saying?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/2021\/12\/27\/6-reasons-why-being-an-art-teacher-is-still-the-best-job-ever\/\">Teachers love their jobs<\/a> and are passionate about providing high-quality education for students. However, a study conducted this year by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/research-center\/reports\/teaching-profession-in-crisis-national-teacher-survey\">Merrimack College and EdWeek Research<\/a> found that only 12% of teachers are \u201cvery satisfied\u201d with their jobs. <a href=\"https:\/\/e4e.org\/about-us\/our-story\">Educators For Excellence\u2019s<\/a> annual survey called <em><a href=\"https:\/\/e4e.org\/news\/survey-americas-educators\/voices-classroom-2022-survey-americas-educators\">Voices From the Classroom<\/a><\/em> found that \u201ccounter to the national narrative, most teachers remain committed to staying in the classroom long term.\u201d They also found that teachers of color are \u201cfar less likely\u201d to say teaching is sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers feel pressure to be resilient and flexible, but the last two years have seen a crisis of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/as-teacher-morale-hits-a-new-low-schools-look-for-ways-to-give-breaks-restoration\/2021\/01#:~:text=In%20a%20November%20survey%20of,teachers%20said%20morale%20was%20lower.\">low morale<\/a> and burnout at a growing rate. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2022-04-01-why-we-need-to-talk-about-teacher-trauma\">collective trauma<\/a> some of us have encountered proves we are vulnerable and need help.<\/p>\n<p>When the National Education Association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nea.org\/advocating-for-change\/new-from-nea\/survey-alarming-number-educators-may-soon-leave-profession\">surveyed its members<\/a> this past spring, 55% of teachers reported considering leaving the profession earlier than planned. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/2022\/02\/21\/feb-the-state-of-art-education-2022\/\">2022 State of Art Education Survey<\/a> we conducted, more than half of our respondents said they feel burned out at least once weekly. 41% of respondents cited they feel a lack of respect as art educators.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is listening?<\/h2>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/events\/live-event\/education-week-leadership-symposium-2022\">Education Week\u2019s three-day Leadership Symposium<\/a>, panelists discussed findings from teachers surveyed. They listed \u201cmore recognition, flexible schedules, and better pay\u201d as a remedy to sentiments of low morale. Undoubtedly, there\u2019s a dire need to improve pay structures and schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling stuck and powerless keeps us in a cycle of low morale. It can feel overwhelming to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nea.org\/advocating-for-change\">advocate<\/a> when in this vulnerable position. Consider the options, and decide what feels manageable. Whether you put your energy toward cultivating inner peace or national reform, it\u2019s vital to take action and break the cycle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-429035\" src=\"https:\/\/theartofeducation.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Photo-3-1024x512.png\" alt=\"hand with clipboard\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Let\u2019s tackle symptoms of burnout and demoralization.<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at two approaches for managing symptoms of burnout and demoralization.

There are several things your school leaders can do to help. Schedule time to check in to keep the lines of communication clear and open to help decrease anxiety.

Many teachers are faced with impossible decisions right now. Relief can come in the form of being able to carry out meaningful work. Sustainable change is possible by advocating for policies that support teachers\u2019 abilities to perform their duties.<\/p>\n<p>Morale tends to remain high when the district, school board, and administration listen and respond in ways that acknowledge they understand educators\u2019 concerns. Better working conditions are achieved holistically when each stakeholder works toward a shared vision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/blog\/20-tips-developing-positive-relationships-parents-elena-aguilar\">Partner with parents<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Engage and nurture the influence of parents by partnering with them early and often.

To share your educator\u2019s perspective, contribute to the conversation by following the procedure to submit a public comment. Leverage your voice by getting to know your school board. It\u2019s much more challenging to react to policy change than to be part of the conversation influencing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/ed100.org\/lessons\/teacherunions\">Participate in teacher\u2019s unions<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unions exist at the school, local, state, regional, and national levels.
