As the 2023-2024 school year comes to an end, Kindergarten through 12th Grade (K-12) teachers in the US are widely experiencing strain at work: one-third (35%) of U.S. educators reported experiencing burnout on most days, leading to absenteeism and a decline in instructional quality as consequences.
“We often hear from our teacher communities about needing to achieve more with less. Teaching stress is complex and can’t be solved with any one tool. Still, it’s encouraging to see that teachers benefit from AI in alleviating their workloads, saving time, and unlocking their creativity”
That’s according to new data from Canva, the all-in-one visual communication platform empowering over 60 million teachers and students with free tech tools for the classroom. Released in time for Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10), the report investigates what is causing teacher burnout, how it impacts their work, and whether technology like AI is emerging as a helpful resource.

When it comes to reducing the strain, teachers cited receiving higher salaries (61%) and maintaining a healthier work-life balance (44%) as things that would help. Technology alone is not a solution, but many teachers are open to AI as a solution to address some of their pain points and support their work:

“We often hear from our teacher communities about needing to achieve more with less. Teaching stress is complex and can’t be solved with any one tool. Still, it’s encouraging to see that teachers benefit from AI in alleviating their workloads, saving time, and unlocking their creativity,” said Carly Daff, Head of Teams and Education at Canva. “We hope that Canva can play a part in allowing teachers to focus on the parts of their job that they’re most passionate about, like creating engaging lessons, and work with students in ways they wouldn’t have been able to before.”
