COVID made Missouri teachers feel stressed, attacked, MSU survey shows

Springfield News-Leader Eighty percent of Missouri educators reported feeling more stressed this year than in any other year in their careers, according to a statewide survey by a team of Missouri State University researchers. Their chief stressor was trying to connect with students to impart academic instruction. Ongoing technology and staffing issues weighed them down, along with the worry about keeping themselves and students safe during a pandemic. Supporting students with special needs and dealing with community pushback were other issues that plagued teachers this year, according to survey results. It was immediately apparent that we have a lot of teachers under a whole lot of stress and my hunch is this is going to have a long-term impact, not only on retaining who we have, but potentially on recruiting more people into the profession, said Jon Turner, an associate professor of educational leadership at MSU.

MSTA survey: 94% of teachers support suspending state tests this year

Springfield News-Leader Nearly 94 percent of teachers surveyed by the Missouri State Teachers Association support suspending state-mandated tests this year.  The survey released this week reflects the responses of more than 6,000 public school teachers in the state. MSTA said 3,500 responded in the first 24 hours. Teachers wanted to have their voice heard, said Bruce Moe, MSTA executive director. They have something that they wanted to say and somebody needed to ask them. Only 6.3 percent of the teachers surveyed were against suspending standardized testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The state has long required students in grades 3-8 to be tested annually in reading and math. High school students must also take standardized end-of-course exams in many core classes required for graduation.
