Early Childhood Teachers' Well-Being: What We Know and Why We Should Care
Kwon, Kyong-Ah; Horm, Diane M.; Amirault, Chris
ZERO TO THREE, v41 n3 p35-44 2021
Researchers from the Happy Teacher Project found that many early childhood teachers experience stress and demonstrate lack of well-being at rates and levels that threaten the quality and sustainability of the workforce. Further, working with children exposed to trauma adds significant emotional and physical burden on teachers who already struggle with poor well-being and poor working conditions, which can be considered "triple jeopardy." Despite these prevalent risks, teachers often do not have adequate resources to support their well-being and work with children experiencing trauma. From a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, we offer recommendations at the individual, program, and system and policy levels.
