Teaching in K-12 schools is stressful, as educators know and research documents. Although all teachers experience stress, minoritized teachers of color often experience unique stressors. Common examples include being asked to translate for parents who do not speak English or function as the disciplinarian for students experiencing behavioral challenges. The stressors minoritized teachers of color experience are multilayered and complex, yet there is a dearth of literature on this topic. This article provides a brief overview of stressors and stress-related outcomes, particularly on mental health and burnout, and recommendations for these teachers and the school administrators who support them.
