The latest Teacher Morale Index by EdWeek Research Center reveals a promising yet fragile uptick in teacher morale across the US, shifting from -13 in 2023 to +18 in the 2024-25 academic year. However, experts caution that this upward trend might be short-lived unless schools address deep-seated issues like staffing shortages, lack of leadership support, poor classroom discipline, and limited mental health resources. While modest salary increments have provided temporary relief, sustaining the momentum will require comprehensive systemic changes to ensure lasting motivation among educators.
