U.S. K-12 early pilot

Good teachers rarely leave loudly. TeachRest tells you first.

TeachRest gives school leaders a 3-minute anonymous weekly teacher check-in and a 5-minute weekly leadership report. 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.

Survey proof

What 83 U.S. K-12 teachers told us

Early teacher survey data points to pressure that is already affecting retention, energy, and trust. TeachRest keeps that proof close to the weekly signal leaders can act on.

84% had at least considered leaving teaching In the last 12 months
42% said workload was overwhelming or they were running on empty Workload pressure
20% Only 20% felt genuinely seen and supported by leadership Support signal
43% rarely or never get enough time to recover from work Recovery risk

The problem

Burnout builds gradually. Schools often see it too late.

Most teachers do not suddenly resign without warning. The signals often appear earlier: workload pressure, inconsistent support, low recovery, quiet withdrawal, and growing thoughts of leaving. TeachRest helps leaders notice those signals while there is still time to act.

No early warning system

Annual surveys arrive months after pressure peaks. Leaders need a weekly signal while there is still time to respond.

Silence is misread as satisfaction

Overburdened teachers often stop speaking up. A quiet staff room can hide rising workload, low recovery, and fading trust.

No data to act on

Leaders want to help, but without current staff-level data they cannot see whether workload, support, recovery, or retention risk needs attention first.

Weekly loop

Teachers check in. Leaders act on one thing. Then the signal comes back.

TeachRest keeps the process short for teachers and practical for leaders, with anonymous signals grouped at the school, team, or grade level.

Teachers check in You get a signal Act on one thing See if it moved

1

Teachers check in

The 3-minute anonymous weekly teacher check-in asks a few focused questions about workload, support, recovery, stress drivers, and intent to stay.

2

You get a signal

The 5-minute weekly leadership report shows staff-level movement without individual teacher profiles or surveillance.

3

Act on one thing

Each weekly view highlights one pressure point worth adjusting before burnout becomes visible.

4

See if it moved

The next check-in shows whether the action helped, held steady, or needs a different response.

Sample dashboard

The sample dashboard is designed to be short, readable, and focused on the pressure points school leaders can act on before burnout becomes visible.

What TeachRest measures

The weekly inputs behind burnout and retention risk.

TeachRest focuses on the conditions leaders can see, discuss, and adjust before pressure turns into resignation risk.

01

Workload pressure

How heavy the week feels and whether demands are becoming unsustainable.

02

Leadership support

Whether teachers feel seen, backed up, and able to ask for help.

03

Recovery time

Whether staff have enough time to reset before pressure compounds.

04

Main stress driver

The issue most responsible for strain this week.

05

Retention risk

Early signals that teachers may be moving from tired to ready to leave.

What TeachRest is not

A practical leadership signal, not a wellness slogan.

TeachRest is designed for responsible school leadership: anonymous, focused, and tied to conditions leaders can change.

Not a mindfulness app

It does not ask exhausted teachers to fix workload problems with breathing exercises.

Not individual surveillance

Leaders see staff-level patterns, not private profiles or rankings of individual teachers.

Not another training module

Teachers complete a short check-in, then get back to the work in front of them.

Not a replacement for leadership action

The product surfaces the signal. School leaders still decide what changes and follow through.
