Teachers are facing time poverty — a growing cause of burnout, stress, and teacher fatigue. In this episode, we explore how packed schedules, state mandates, and constant pressure impact teacher wellness, student behavior, and school culture. Join us as we discuss practical ways to restore balance, protect mental health, and bring joy back to teaching.
TIME POVERTY
In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges educators face: time poverty — that overwhelming feeling of never having enough time for the things that matter most. With curriculum mandates, data requirements, and constant expectations, many teachers are left without time for the very practices that improve student well-being, critical thinking, and long-term learning.
We unpack what time poverty really means in education and explore how it affects not just teachers, but students and families too. From the pressures of state mandates to the ripple effects of dysregulated adults and anxious kids, we take a closer look at how this imbalance shapes classroom culture and climate.
Together, we discuss practical ways to push back — through intentional planning, clear boundaries, shared leadership, and creating space for what truly matters: connection, outdoor learning, creativity, and steadiness. Because when we slow down, we don’t lose momentum — we build sustainability.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re racing through the day without enough time to breathe, this episode is for you.
