Educators Are Not Alright: Mental Health during COVID-19
Hirshberg, Matthew J.; Davidson, Richard J.; Goldberg, Simon B.
Educational Researcher, v52 n1 p48-52 Jan-Feb 2023
Educator mental health sits at the intersection of multiple pressing educational issues. We are among the first to provide estimates of school system employee (SSE) stress, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most participants reported clinically meaningful anxiety and depressive symptoms (77.96% and 53.65%, respectively). Being in the lowest strata of family income was associated with higher stress, a greater likelihood of clinically significant depressive symptoms, and reduced intentions to continue in the same job, portending the current staffing shortages affecting schools. Supporting SSE mental health should become a policy priority.
