How does our frustration affect students?

Teacher frustration may create a social context for students that impacts their emotions and ability to stay motivated in the classroom

Why should we care about this topic?

We should care about this topic of frustration because when teachers are frustrated with their students, they are negatively impacting them and their ability to stay motivated. When students experience frustration, this may last for long periods of time, impacting their ability to concentrate. We should care about frustration in the classroom setting because it may lead to burnout and turnover increase, where teachers are left with less access to experienced and supportive peer mentors. We want classrooms to be a positive and supportive environment where students can succeed, not a negative one that causes them to disengage.
