This study investigates the relationships between teachers' emotional tiredness and students' academic performance. This analysis of students' educational results takes into account a wide range of non-cognitive (competence self-perceptions, school contentment, and teacher support perceptions) and cognitive (success in terms of school grades and standardized achievement test scores) outcomes. Based on 40 participant data, comprising 20 teachers and 20 kids, the analyses were conducted. Teachers' emotional weariness was directly correlated with students' class average grades, standardized achievement test scores, school satisfaction, and teacher support perceptions. The findings indicated a strong correlation between academic achievement and non-cognitive outcomes at the individual student level. Future studies should focus on longitudinal designs to explore the causal pathways between teachers' emotional exhaustion and students' cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes over time.
