\nAs the omicron wave spikes across the United States, K-12 education is one of many systems buckling under the weight of expanding needs. Recent headlines highlight\u00a0staff and busing shortages<\/a>,\u00a0parental anxieties about both in-person and distance schooling<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0disputes between unions and districts<\/a>. Yet teachers\u2019 experiences in their classrooms can be overlooked in these conversations.<\/p>\n

As part of our research into teaching, since March 2020,\u00a0we<\/a>\u00a0have<\/a>\u00a0been following the experiences of a group of elementary school teachers in one suburban school district in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen variations in teachers\u2019 experiences and well-being over the course of the pandemic, yet\u00a0our research<\/a>\u00a0suggests their situation continues to be incredibly challenging.<\/p>\n

In January 2022 \u2013 halfway through the school year that was supposed to be a return to normal \u2013 teachers tell us they are barely hanging on.<\/p>\n

\u2018Trying to make up for the great divide\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Teachers tell us they are more worried about student learning than ever before, and their\u00a0job duties keep expanding<\/a>\u00a0while resources dwindle.<\/p>\n

Struggling with the omicron surge, many previously hopeful teachers describe being utterly\u00a0overwhelmed, overworked and exhausted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now in their third disrupted school year, students in the same grade have even more widely varied academic achievement levels than usual.<\/p>\n

Elementary school teachers in our study report needing to address up to nine different academic levels in a single classroom, when they may address two to three in a typical year. Yet they tell us they are\u00a0not getting the time, support or resources<\/a>\u00a0to develop appropriately different lessons.<\/p>\n

Teachers are constantly having to figure out how to teach material in appropriate sequences\u00a0while accommodating student absences<\/a>. One teacher told us, \u201cIt\u2019s just hard when students are gone and I don\u2019t know how much new content to teach when they\u2019re away, and how to get them caught up afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teachers say learning gaps,\u00a0already wide<\/a>\u00a0before the 2021-2022 school year, are\u00a0expanding even further<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s actually a nightmare right now\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Beyond academics, teachers report having to\u00a0reteach basic school readiness skills<\/a>, such as raising hands, standing in line and taking turns.<\/p>\n

Rachel, a fifth grade teacher in our study, described the challenges as follows: \u201cIt feels like the beginning of the year. So many unexpected behaviors and responses to redirection. I see a lot of social gaps \u2013 not knowing how to cooperate and problem-solve. Self-control needs to be retaught.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teachers say serious behavior issues like emotional dysregulation, disruption and defiance are more common than they used to be. Even in historically calm schools,\u00a0physical fights and verbal outbursts are becoming routine<\/a>. One teacher shared with us that a student spit in her eye right after returning from winter break. The next day, that student tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Teachers are thus forced to spend time restoring order before they can teach. One said, \u201cI realize that so little of my day is spent on true, high-quality instruction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worries about students\u2019 mental health<\/a>\u00a0keep teachers\u00a0up at night<\/a>. They tell us they see more kids than ever who are anxious, depressed and despondent, and suicidal thoughts are appearing at younger ages. Katie, a first grade teacher, shared with us: \u201cThere are many kids whose families face issues of food scarcity, job challenges, family relationships that are unstable, several who have suffered losses.\u201d

\u2018Our systems cannot support this reality\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the face of mounting crises, teachers would typically partner with school-based social workers, counselors and other support staff. Yet many counselors, administrators, behavior support staff, paraprofessionals and other specialists are being redeployed to\u00a0classrooms with teachers out sick<\/a>. Teachers report students in crisis are left waiting.<\/p>\n

Teachers describe giving up prep time to\u00a0substitute for sick colleagues<\/a>\u00a0and keeping obviously sick kids in class when the\u00a0nurse\u2019s office is full<\/a>. With the lack of time and training to teach the multiple levels in one class, teachers are scrambling to find ways to catch kids up. A fifth grade teacher shared that, after being denied funds from the district, her team used field-trip funds to purchase an online extension of their math curriculum to support differentiated learning.<\/p>\n

Although teachers are used to getting by in underresourced systems, the teachers in our study tell us no amount of creativity will soon overcome the current crisis. As one teacher explained, \u201cThere were similar problems before, however with the added stressors of the pandemic, we\u2019re at a breaking point and feel like saying no more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I wonder what it\u2019s all for\u2019<\/strong><\/h4>\n

While the pandemic has always posed significant challenges, it used to be that even struggling teachers expressed optimism that things would eventually improve.<\/p>\n

Now, as they contend with years of ever-increasing, cumulative needs colliding with the acute pressures of the omicron wave, teachers are left staggering and overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Rachel, the fifth grade teacher, explained: \u201cWe entered the year feeling depleted, and now so little is left. I wonder what it\u2019s all for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet despite the scale of the challenges and the steep personal toll of this work, the teachers in our study and around the country keep showing up for students and families. We wonder how long they can continue. Moreover, we wonder about what will happen to those students and families if, or perhaps when, they can\u2019t.
