Hi. My name is Drew People, and I'm here to

present a school burnout survey that I completed with my

classmates, actually to have import courted forward, Um, in conjunction

with Dr Mary Mose panel.

Who is our professor?

Uh, we are the school counseling interns this semester.

And one of the things we noticed this past summer

was how important teachers and nurses were or how immediately

apparent it was that to everyone that teachers and nurses

are extremely important for us just to be doing our

most basic things and perhaps, how much stress a teacher

and a nurse is taking in.

So that's one of the things we want to talk

about. And so that kind of lived experience that we

all have this past summer, summer of 2020 um, we're

going to keep that in our heads is our first

empirical piece of information, right?

It's like a lived experience that we were.

We saw how stressful it was, and there were lots

of parents at the house.

We were having trouble getting things done because they were

having to watch their kids at the same time.

But the stress didn't just leave.

There's there's people who are the ones in charge of

educating, and we should check in and see how they're

doing. So this is another piece of information.

The first thing is, burnout is emotional exhaustion, overload and

or fatigue specifically, that comes with on the job stress,

which is important.

Another way to say that is we have this body

of ours, a troublesome piece of luggage.

We don't really know anything about it.

We need all sorts of tools to find out about

his most natural processes.

Um, that really encapsulates burnout to me because it's almost

like burnout is just staying where my body is done.

And so it becomes a troublesome piece of luggage, and

I'm just using the willpower to keep it going.

But really, the body's done right, and it's just a

piece of luggage.

I'm just dragging along.

Um, like I just said, we completed a survey over

the summer or over these past few past few months.

Um, it was adapted from the Coca Copenhagen burnout inventory.

We had 99 respondents, um, from local districts.

It was brief.

It was only 12 questions, Uh, it was non scientific,

because, I mean, we weren't it was in random sampling.

We sent out a survey, and here are the results

of the survey.

I'm in the very thing.

We presented resources to address burnout if they desired them.

So here are Here's our information.

First of all, with grade levels do you work with,

um, we had responded to each one.

So the reason this isn't gonna add up to 100%

writers because they could have been in all different types.

Um, but we had an even like a You know,

we got respondents from every grade level.

The highest ones were obviously those early elementary grades.

Um, which best describes your role teacher?

Uh, 60% of them are teachers, teachers, assistants also kind

of fitting in there.

So these are These are mostly people that are working

in the classrooms.

Special needs, um, mostly people who are working in the

classroom. The students is how many years, including this one.

Have you been in your current role?

And we see that 42% of these people have been

in their current role for 10 plus years.

And then we also have 16.2% have been there for

6 to 9 years.

So, like this is a big chunk of people that

have been in this job for a long time.

Mhm. Do you go ward out at the end of

the working day?

So what we see there is 20.2% of them are

saying Yes.

I always feel worn out at the end of the

working day.

Are you exhausted in the morning at the thought of

just going to work again?

Always 15 to 15.2%.

Often 21.2% like these to me seem like high numbers

all. All address that in a second.

But do you have enough time?

You have enough energy for your family and friends during

leisure time, right?

This will be inverted.

Never. I think it's about 9%.

Uh, sometimes or seldom.

Excuse me, 14.1.

So a lot of these people are going home, and

once they get home, they don't have time for their

friends and family during leisure time.

Is your work emotionally exhausting?

Always 13 1, often 21.2.

I am always emotionally exhausted.

I am often emotionally exhausted.

These are high numbers.

You feel word burnt out because of your work.

Always 9.1% always burn out.

And then how do you feel like this year compared

to last with previous years?

And you see, the biggest group is saying I feel

more burnt out this week this year than in previous

years like they're they're burnt out.

And these are veteran teachers were talking about, so to

summarize. They had lots of experience in the role, and

then they reported their very burnt out.

Um, and I think that's also important to low levels

of energy for their leisure time.

And so kind of how I want to ask us

to reflect on all of this is interesting in this

little piece here, if we look at the root word,

this comes from a guy named Rollo May, who's extremely

good writer.

If you ever get the chance to read them, you

wrote a couple books will and love courage to create.

But in the middle of the word information, we see

the word of four.

What he's kind of pointing out there is when I

take in new information, it does something to me, right?

And so when I mentioned the beginning.

We have two pieces of information that I'm just giving

one. We have our empirical knowledge of our lived experience.

I know people are tired from the Children, but then

I'm also giving you a second piece of information.

And so I think it's natural for all people to

kind of react in this in some way.

Maybe you want to get rid of this information so

you don't want to think about it.

Maybe you take this on, and then you Whenever you're

interacting with teachers, you kind of feel stressed because you're

trying to empathize with them.

I think it's just important to recognize that when I

take in new information, it's going to affect the chemistry

of how my individual being is, like all getting getting

together. And so that's just what I was hoping to

point out there.

Um, thank you.

Uh and, um, yeah, thanks a lot
