EZRA AND SIMON SINEK BRING FREE COACHING TO 1,000 TEACHERS IN US AND UK TO HELP COMBAT BURN-OUT AND STRESS
"We have huge expectations on educators to take care of our children, but there are few resources to help take care of the educators themselves," said "If we want the best from educators, then we have to help them feel and perform their best - that's where coaching comes in. We give coaches to athletesto help them perform at a higher level, I wanted to do the same thing for the people who are responsible for more than winning games...they are responsible for our children!"
52% of teachers say they would not advise a young person starting out today to become a teacher, according to the Pew Research Center . Their survey found that teachers are much less satisfied than U.S. workers overall as they struggle to navigate the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, staffing shortages and a lack of support. Compared to 51% of U.S. workers, only 33% of teachers were extremely or very satisfied with their jobs, with 77% noting their job is frequently stressful, and 68% saying it's overwhelming.
"Most of us have teachers that have made a meaningful difference in our lives. They play a vital role in shaping our futures and society at-large, yet are often unsupported both inside and outside the classroom," said . "EZRA's coaching has helped the workforces of countless organizations manage their stress and navigate complex challenges, and we are eager to extend our offerings free-of-cost to those who give the most in service to others."
The program will offer educators three months of free professional coaching aimed at alleviating stress, prioritizing their purpose and passion for teaching, and creating a better work-life balance. As part of the program, participants will receive one-on-one coaching sessions with ICF certified EZRA coaches and gain access to valuable resources, including EZRA's AI-powered development assistant, Cai. The coaching sessions are designed to cover issues that are most pressing to participants, such as stress management, resilience building, and enhanced well-being.
This program is part of a larger initiative created by EZRA and Simon Sinek to prioritize the well-being and support of people whose professions involve providing care to others, recognizing that their demanding roles can lead to burnout and stress if they aren't also supported. The expansion to teachers follows the success of the first round of the program tailored to healthcare workers. To date, the initiative has delivered over 1,500 sessions, with 44% of participants reporting increased resilience, 24% feeling more confident in continuing their professional development and 20% feeling more positive about their work.
Applications for this coaching initiative are open for K-12 teachers, teaching assistants, early childhood educators, resource teachers, and school administrators. To learn more, please visit EZRA's
