• We present a review of 14 studies examining teacher burnout and student outcomes. • Teacher burnout is associated with worse academic achievement. • It is also associated with lower quality student motivation. • More studies in this area are needed, especially those adopting more robust designs. • Nonetheless, teacher burnout can affect the students they teach. We provide the first systematic review of studies examining the consequences of teacher burnout for students. In doing so, we focused on academic achievement and student-reported outcomes. A systematic literature search returned 14 studies including 5,311 teachers and 50,616 of their students. The findings provided some evidence that teacher burnout is associated with worse academic achievement and lower quality student motivation, but little evidence that it is associated with student wellbeing. There is a clear need for more studies in this area, especially those adopting more robust designs, exploring moderating factors, and examining the mechanisms that explain these relationships. Nonetheless, the present findings provide preliminary evidence that teacher burnout can affect the students they teach.
