In this report, the authors examined the relationship between social and emotional (SE) skills, school climate, educator variables, and educator burnout. Mosaic Educator, an assessment designed for teachers and school staff, was completed by a sample of educators in several regions of the country during the spring of 2022. This assessment measured educators' SE skills, perceptions of school climate, and experiences of burnout symptoms. Additionally, demographic and work variables were collected, including gender, race/ethnicity, hours worked, and job tenure. The final sample in this analysis included 329 educators (82.2% female, 17.8% male; 62.5% White, 19.2% Black/African American, 16.3% Hispanic/Latino, 2.0% Asian) who had an average tenure of 15.6 years. Prior research has demonstrated that teachers who receive professional development related to SE skills tend to have lower levels of burnout. Based on this study, cultivating staff relationships, providing a safe working environment, and offering professional development related to SE skills like stress management could all provide support toward reaching this goal.
