Problem: Teacher/Student Burnout
● There exists an insufficient amount of mindfulness and strategies/techniques offered to educators
and students in preventing and treating burnout.
● American popular culture trends promote success and speed which have created patterns of stress,
anxiety, and burnout among teachers and students.

● Burnout has been tied to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of tasks, and feelings of low
personal accomplishment.
● Social support, personality, and workload were also influences of burnout.

confidence, and predisposition to depression.
