Workable Solutions to Combat Teacher Burnout with Karen Foley


Listen Later

Teachers are our “boots on the ground” partners for all we want to accomplish in education. There are real mental health challenges all around us, and teachers need our support more than ever. Nothing will impact a child’s learning like a great teacher–and the reverse is also true, unfortunately. Join us as we explore this important topic!

Karen Foley is the president and CEO of The Juvenile Protective Association, a Chicago nonprofit founded in 1901. The JPA provides therapy in schools and clinics to give children the mental health care and support that they need. Karen is a former corporate executive who left that field to care for her son and found her calling in nonprofit work. 

Show Highlights:

  • Karen’s background and passion for the work she does today
  • The truth about teachers: 48% experience burnout and leave education within the first 5 years.
  • A real-life example of a teacher’s impact on a student
  • The work of the JPA to make a difference in schools and communities
  • Karen’s advice for administrators
  • Signs of teacher burnout: increased turnover, mindset shifts, and overloaded responsibilities
  • Karen’s experience with social-emotional development in the school setting
  • Tips for teachers
  • The importance of building rapport with students
  • Data that validates the success of the JPA’s work with students
