On Balance with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Chief Academic Officer Francie Alexander. Dr. Rod Berger and Francie discuss her life's work throughout education and current trends impacting policy and practice.
HMH recently released its Educator Confidence Report which showed teachers rated their confidence in the profession at a 42 out of 100 (slightly up from its lowest point in 2022). Part two of the report showed that teachers’ basic needs remain unmet, and they’re looking for more well-being support to get them through the school year.
Francie’s background is grounded in the classroom, as she taught students from kindergarten all the way through college. Her experience in the classroom, along with her current role at HMH, gives her a unique perspective on the state of teacher burnout.
