Teaching is the most stressful profession in the U.S., tied with nursing, and that stress can have a negative effect on teachers’ health and well-being.
CEA has teamed up with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence for a survey examining teachers and stress. We want to know what’s happening in your classrooms and how it may be leading to increased stress levels so that we can help policymakers understand the magnitude of the problem as well as its root causes.
Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey, and know your identity will be kept confidential. The survey closes on March 5. The higher the response rate, the more credible the findings, demonstrating the urgent need to put policy measures in place to alleviate the substantial burdens on teachers.
Preliminary results of the survey will be shared at two free upcoming Permission to Feel book discussions with Marc Brackett, author, professor, and director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Register and hear about the survey findings and how emotional regulation strategies can be used in the classroom.
