COGNITIVE & EMOTIONAL DEMANDS
![Page 4: Improving Teacher Well-Being to Promote …...2017/06/20 · A., & Greenberg, M. (April, 2016). Direct and Moderating Impacts of the Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060213/5f0529e97e708231d41196d5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
National survey found 46% of teacher’s reporting high daily stress during the school year. Highest among all occupational groups, including physicians (Gallup, 2014)
Chronic teacher work stress and exhaustion associated with higher biological indicators of overall stress (allostatic load) and daily stress reactivity (cortisol) (Bellingrath et al, 2009; Wolfram et al, 2013;
Katz et al, 2016)
A study of high school teachers found 46% diagnosed with excessive daytime sleepiness and 51% with poor sleep quality.
Evidence that stress may compromise teacher health and quality of life.
Teacher Stress & Health
![Page 5: Improving Teacher Well-Being to Promote …...2017/06/20 · A., & Greenberg, M. (April, 2016). Direct and Moderating Impacts of the Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060213/5f0529e97e708231d41196d5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Evidence among elementary school teachers…
Teachers who report higher burnout have students with higher morning stress hormone levels (cortisol) (Oberle & Schonert-Reichl, 2016)
Higher teacher depressive symptoms linked to lower end-of-year math scores, partly because of poorer classroom interactions. Worse for students with low initial math scores (MacLean & Connor, 2015)
Higher Teacher burnout early in school year linked to more classroom behavior problems, and burnout and classroom behavior problems linked to poorer social and academic adjustment (Hoglund
et al., 2015)
Higher Teacher emotional exhaustion linked to lower classroom reading achievement and lower perceptions of teacher support (Arens & Morin, 2016)
Teacher Stress Tied To Poor Student Outcomes

Sources of Teacher Stress• School organization• Job demands• Work resources• T Social-emotional competence
Teacher Consequences• Low performance• Ill health/Lack of well-being• Increased absenteeism• High turnover
Other Consequences• Lower student achievement• Lower continuity for Ss & Ps• Higher educational costs
Programs & Policies• Mentoring & induction programs• Workplace wellness programs• Mindfulness/stress mgmt prgms• SEL programs

What is Mindfulness?
9
• A state/trait, and practice
– “the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment” (Kabat-Zinn, p. 144).
• Two dimensions (Bishop et al., 2004)
– Directing one’s attention to the present moment
– Cultivating an orientation to one’s experience marked by curiosity, openness, and acceptance.

MAPs & Teacher Stress

Mindfulness-based training for teachers has shown promise in reducing teacher stress and improving well-being (Harris et al.,
2015; Jennings et al., 2016; Kemeny et al., 2012; Roeser et al., 2013)
Teachers trained to deliver mindfulness practices to students can impact student behavior and social competence (Schonert-
Reichl & Lawlor, 2010)
No study to date has examined how mindfulness-based training focused exclusively on teachers impacts student outcomes

CARE Effects on Students
Students of teachers who received CARE training showed greater increases in academic engagement across the school year than students of teachers in control group.

Summary of CARE Impacts on Students
Teachers trained in CARE had students with improved academic engagement
CARE training for teachers was particularly beneficial
for students with low social skills (improved reading competence)
For student of teachers with initially low mindfulness (reading competence)
The impacts of CARE on student outcomes (academic engagement, academic motivation, social skills) are caused in part by improvements in teacher mindfulness and emotion regulation.

Next Steps
Exclusively teacher reported, so examine grades 3-5 subpopulation with DOE achievement scores
Examine cumulative student-level risk index, and assess other teacher/classroom-level risks
Test Fidelity of Implementation → Teacher, Classroom, and Student Outcomes
Program sustainability in NYC DOE
