Episode 6 - Burnout Forcing Teachers Out of the Classroom

Sheena Graham, Connecticut's 2019 Teacher of the Year, had always found joy in teaching and, prior to the pandemic, planned to teach for another five to ten years. Instead she retired early this January--one of many teachers being forced out due to burnout, stress, and a lack of respect for teachers. In this episode of Two T's in a Pod, CEA President Kate Dias and Vice President Joslyn DeLancey talk to Graham about what more can be done to support and sustain teachers so they can choose to stay in the classroom.
