According to a February 2022 Gallup poll, K-12 school staff suffer higher burnout rates (44%) than any other segment of the U.S. labor force. In addition, a 2022 National Education Association survey indicated that 55% of educators were considering leaving the profession earlier than planned, a figure nearly double the percentage of teachers who indicated the same in July 2020. What is causing this phenomenon? Michael Beyer has personal experience with this alarming trend and he not only has suggestions for improving the education sector, but he also offers educators an essential guide for transitioning out of it. Beyer, a former Chicago Public Schools principal with more than 20 years as an educator, has co-written a book with Nallely Suarez Gass, a career coach and former corporate executive, titled Pencils Down: Career Journeys of Educators Who Left the Profession and What We Can Learn From the Crises in Education. The co-authors have children in Oak Park schools.
