Quiet rooms created for teachers to balance burnout at schools

A Valley elementary school is battling teacher burnout by giving them a place to find some peace throughout the day.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — An elementary school in Phoenix, Arizona is battling teacher burnout by giving them a place to find some peace throughout the day.

Surrounded in peaceful lighting and ambiance, teachers at Kyrene De La Sierra Elementary School recharge their batteries in a room now known as the"Zen Den." “Teaching 26 first graders feels like you’re in the little hamster wheel and you’re going and you’re going and you’re going, and you're thinking about all these different things, you’re thinking about kids' academic needs, their social needs, their emotional needs, their home lives,” said Yamada.

“Teachers are needing to do so much more to catch their kids up academically, emotionally, socially, and that is really taking a toll,” said school counselor Jessie Davis.
