Compared to average workers in the United States, teachers exhibit higher levels of job-related stress, with roughly half of teachers showing signs of burnout. For policymakers and school leaders, some promising levers to lower teacher burnout are salaries, work schedules, and working conditions. This brief describes the findings of a new impact study from the American Institutes for Research which calls attention to another lever to reduce teacher burnout--instructional coaching that focuses on teachers' successes in the classroom. The study examined the impact of a program called MyTeachingPartner, which has features that distinguish it from most coaching programs.
