TeachRest Early Pilot Package
TeachRest helps U.S. K–12 school leaders detect teacher burnout risk before it becomes resignation.
In an early survey of 83 U.S. K–12 teachers, 84% said they had at least considered leaving teaching in the last 12 months. Only 20% said they felt genuinely seen and supported by school leadership.
TeachRest gives principals and district teams a simple way to understand where pressure is building through short anonymous weekly teacher check-ins.
What the pilot includes
The pilot combines anonymous teacher check-ins with clear leadership summaries, so teams can see what is changing and what may need attention.
Teachers complete a short 5-minute anonymous check-in once per week.
No individual teacher profiles are created. The goal is to understand staff-level patterns, not monitor individual teachers.
Each week, school leaders receive a simple dashboard showing the signals that need attention.
The dashboard helps leaders see what needs attention before burnout becomes visible through resignation, absence, or disengagement.
Along with the dashboard, leaders receive a short written summary explaining what changed this week.
At the end of 4 weeks, TeachRest provides a short report summarizing staff pressure patterns and next steps.
Pilot structure
A school can start with one grade level, one department, one staff team, or one small school.
TeachRest works with the school leader to define the pilot group and confirm the check-in schedule.
Teachers receive one anonymous check-in per week. The check-in takes around 5 minutes.
School leaders receive a weekly dashboard and action summary.
TeachRest provides a final pilot report and optional review call.
What TeachRest is not
TeachRest gives school leaders clearer signals so they can act earlier.
TeachRest focuses on staff pressure patterns, not asking teachers to self-manage burnout alone.
The pilot is anonymous and designed for staff-level patterns, not individual monitoring.
Teachers complete a short weekly check-in, then get back to the work in front of them.
The pilot surfaces the signal. School leaders still choose the response and follow through.
Ideal pilot school
This pilot is best for schools that are seeing signs of teacher workload pressure, low morale, staff exhaustion, retention concerns, stress around student behavior, or weak communication between staff and leadership.
Pilot goal
Start with a focused group, run four weekly anonymous check-ins, and leave with a clear picture of the pressure points leadership can act on.
