Burned out. Overworked. Under-supported. For thousands of teachers, this isn’t a bad week—it’s the whole school year. But AI education tools like TeachShare are starting to shift the tide.
What Is Teacher Burnout?
Teacher burnout is chronic physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged workplace stress, often due to excessive workload, lack of resources, and emotional strain.
Signs of burnout include:
Constant fatigue—even after weekends
Feeling emotionally detached from students
Dreading lesson planning and grading
Increased absenteeism and lowered morale
Burnout by the Numbers
Stat | Source |
55% of U.S. teachers feel burnt out | Gallup (2022) |
1 in 3 teachers considered leaving | NEA Survey (2023) |
5+ hours/week spent on planning | RAND Education Report |
The most common cry from teachers? “I just don’t have time to do this well anymore.”
How AI + EdTech Is Helping Reduce Burnout
Modern AI-powered education tools are reshaping what teachers can do in less time, without sacrificing quality.
1. Reclaiming Planning Time
AI creators like TeachShare let teachers generate standards-aligned worksheets, quizzes, and exit tickets in under 3 minutes.
2. Reducing Repetitive Work
With smart integrations (e.g. Google Docs, LMS auto-grading), teachers avoid copy/pasting, formatting, and data transfers.
3. Built-in Differentiation
No more rewriting the same lesson 3 times for different ability levels—AI tools auto-adjust content for ELL, SPED, and advanced learners.
4. Support Without Surveillance
Unlike some edtech platforms, teacher-first AI tools enhance your autonomy, you stay in control, not under a microscope.
