Layman's description
We aimed to find out why some teachers feel burnout and leave the classroom.
Key findings
Burnout is highly prevalent in teaching, more so than other professions. It is associated with a particular style of coping – high stress, low motivation. This can be understood via theories of motivation, and persists from training onwards, suggesting interventions through teacher education and recruitment.
Notes
