Can Technology Alleviate Teacher Burnout or Exacerbate the Issue?
As educational institutions increasingly adopt new technology to support teaching, it's crucial for school leaders to ensure that these tools don't inadvertently add to teachers' workloads, potentially leading to increased stress and burnout. By streamlining tasks and enhancing productivity, effective technology integration can help mitigate teacher burnout, a major factor contributing to high teacher turnover rates. By implementing technology strategically, schools can promote a healthier work-life balance for educators, reducing the likelihood of burnout and supporting their overall well-being. Key considerations include ease of use, training, and alignment with existing curricula, all of which can impact the success of technology in the classroom.
