What Teachers Really Need: Why Wellness Isn’t Self-Care (And Who’s Responsible)

Teacher wellness isn’t about more self-care—it’s about systems, leadership, and accountability. This conversation challenges the myth that teachers can “breathe their way” out of burnout. The major myth surrounding teacher wellness and well-being is that educators are responsible for fixing burnout themselves. In this video, the authors of What Teachers Need explain why deep breaths, mindfulness, and self-care—while helpful—cannot solve the moral and institutional crisis facing the teaching profession. Instead, this conversation reframes teacher wellness as a shared responsibility, placing the burden on the systems and leaders who create the conditions teachers work within. From principals and superintendents to institutional resources and accountability structures, true wellness depends on collective action—not individual coping strategies. The discussion explores: Why teacher burnout is a moral injury, not a personal failure How leadership and institutional support impact retention and turnover What accountability can look like at every level of the education system How small, collective actions—like book clubs—can spark real change This video is for educators, administrators, policymakers, and anyone invested in building sustainable, humane conditions for teaching and learning.
