In this meta-analysis, we examine the association between teacher well-being and ill-being with student motivation and achievement. Based on 186 articles, 811 effect sizes, and data from 355,637 teachers, we investigate these relationships through the lens of the Job Demands–Resources Model, Transactional Stress Model, Self-Determination Theory, and the PERMA model. Using three-level meta-analytic models, we found small to moderate associations between student outcomes and teacher well-being (r = .18) and ill-being (r = –.13). These associations were similarly patterned across student motivation and student achievement, with no significant differences by outcome type. Associations were also comparable across domains of teacher functioning with no significant differences by domain. Moderator analyses indicated stronger associations in secondary school settings. Associations were also larger when teacher and student variables were reported by the same informant, although this difference reached conventional significance only for teacher ill-being and approached significance for teacher well-being. These findings suggest that teacher well-being and ill-being show reliable but modest associations with student motivation and achievement across a diverse body of research, though the evidence remains largely correlational. Given this correlational nature and the influence of measurement source, future longitudinal and intervention research is needed to clarify causal mechanisms and the direction of effects.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly embedded into the everyday lives of children and young people, shaping how they learn, communicate, play and make sense of the world. Its rapid development and adoption have generated growing interest and concern among parents, educators and policymakers, with questions arising as to how sustained interaction with AI may influence children’s cognitive, social and emotional development. This report examines AI-mediated environments, while highlighting evidence specific to generative AI (GenAI) where available. Drawing on documented research from neuroscience, education, psychology and related fields, the report explores the implications of AI for children’s socio emotional competences. It synthesises emerging evidence to identify both opportunities and risks and to inform education policies that support children’s learning and development in an increasingly AI-enabled world.

AI tools are arriving in schools faster than research can evaluate them. Teachers are experimenting with new tools and districts are writing policies, all while students are already using AI both inside and outside the classroom. But for many education leaders, a basic question remains: What does rigorous research actually say about how AI affects teaching and learning? To help answer that question, we released a new report: The Evidence Base on AI in K-12: A 2026 Review. The report reviews the current research, focusing specifically on studies that convincingly estimate causal impact, meaning studies that can tell us whether an AI tool changed outcomes for students or educators.

Educators need agency, not just new rules AI is making student learning invisible to teachers. And it’s turning teachers into someone students look past rather than someone they go to. What if teachers could regain their sightlines by doing something they already know how to do — talking to their...

AI reached K–12 classrooms before state policies on its use and role in public education did. States are taking action—but for most, that action is still ad hoc, fragmented, and not keeping up with the pace of change in classrooms and workplaces.
