Burnout : The Iranian Case

The feelings of isolation affect the perceptions and it may increase the nervousness among the teachers too that directly harms in the delivery of education. The teachers should be motivated towards their work and it helps them to do good communication among the students and other teachers as well which brings the positive results. Beginners can be helped a lot through this motivation process as they are not alone in their experience. They can get proper information and can make a use of other’s experience so that they can overcome the challenges and become successful teachers. Another reason mentioned in the article is the identifying perceptions of initial year teachers to collect the information which can be used by various lecturers, trainers, and many other educators who in turn trains or prepares the teachers in the field of education. It is found that the teachers who got proper training and whom were tested before starting their teaching profession brings out better results than the ones who directly comes to the field. The beginning teachers are provided proper training and strategies so that they can deliver the quality education and retain the good and better. In the article, it is mentioned that they begin with a detail of the school where teachers are involved and the special program where the

It is interesting to note that many people believe the stereotype that teaching is a stress free job. They get the summers and weekends off, as well as a shortened workday, and typically is a job that people only do because they cannot do anything else. The old adage that people teach who cannot do is widely believed. However, the reality is that there is a high degree of stress associated with being an educator. There have been various research studies that indeed

The past decade has been hard on teachers, especially in 2002, when President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind went into effect. This brought about yearly testing from 3rd grade to 8th grade. If every child was not “proficient” and was “left behind” by the the education system then the school would be subject to sanctions. The worst

Teachers today face a number of challenges that contribute to a lack of job satisfaction, leaving schools for other professions that are more lucrative, low comparative compensation, and poor working conditions:

Many states across the country are experiencing teacher shortages. Without enough teachers, we can not successfully educate our children. According to Glori Chaika “Forty-two states issue emergency credentials to people who have taken no education courses and have not taught a day in their lives. Many teachers are hired based solely on their experience leading church or camping groups.” (Chaika) Due to the shortages, States are allowing those who are not even qualified to teach. One can not believe that children are being educated as best as they can be, if those teaching them have no experience or training before hand. Another problem is that teachers are not being place in the fields were they can perform at their best, Glori Chaika also states that “One-fourth of new teachers -- if they are licensed -- are not licensed to teach in the field they are teaching.” (Chaika) Many teachers have very little knowledge on the subject they are teaching, “About 55 percent of students taking physics in the United States, for example, are taught by someone who never majored or minored in the subject.” ( Asimov) As a result of the current teacher shortage, the quality of America’s educational system has gone down. People are being hired with no teaching experience and teachers are being forced to teacher subjects that they are not familiar with. Adding to the current teacher shortage is the problem of teacher

This source provided useful information into the negative effects that standardized testing has on the teachers. The majority of the focus is usually centered around student setbacks, however, this source sheds light on the emotional effects that teachers face in this stressful environment. Crocco and Arthur provide insight into how this negative environment creates poor job satisfaction which translates across the board for the students’ educational experience. The teacher’s opinions will be a strong source to support my reasoning of the negative environment

There are couple of studies questioning over-deterministic perspective to look at operation of governmentality and contemplating what is followed by membership of society in its interaction with governmentality. Although, as Foucault contends, the self might be constantly placed in the ceaseless chain of self-governing as a docile body, it is impossible to argue that the very private space, such as affections, is likely to be completely controlled by governmentality during or after the self-monitoring. Given the affections are accompanied in the process where governmentality operates, however, the affections may be indicative of how the self absorbs or resists to the neoliberal doctrine. As one of the affections, a feel (or state) of burnout

Inexperienced teachers could face unnecessary pressure to employ different approaches for teaching, and teachers that find this difficulty this way may quit their job.

The United States is currently facing a difficult time with teacher shortages. In North Carolina alone, 14.8 percent of teachers left the profession in the school years of 2014-2015 according to the Public School Forum (Barth et al. 23). Teacher shortage is a crucial topic to keep at the forefront of discussion because it affects the quality of education that students receive and, subsequently, the future of the United States. It is crucial for the United States to enhance student performance in order for the economy and our technological industry to continue improving. One factor that causes the teacher shortage are the different qualifications needed in order to get certified to teach in a certain subject. However, even after completing these qualifications, there have still been cases in which teachers are not being hired because they are either over-qualified or under-qualified. In addition to these educational barriers, North Carolina has some of the lowest numbers for teacher salaries which has led to a decrease of people desiring to enter into this profession and, as a result, those people choose to not major in education or move to other states to teach instead. After all this, it is very clear that one has to be passionate about working in the education profession. Unfortunately, even those who power through these first few hurdles, there are many negative factors that come into the picture as a result of remaining a teacher. Two possible solutions that can help the

The concern for teachers was that they did not have adequate training and their professional life on a whole was unacceptable (Gardner, Larsen, Baker, Campbell, & Crosby, 1983, Kottkamp, Provenzo, & Cohn, 1986, Heynes,

The purpose of exploring this phenomenon of teachers leaving their profession early in their career is to determine why it is happening and how it can be prevented in the future.

I have chosen to become a teacher because I believe that education is the center of a country’s development process and prosperity. I want to be an educator to play an effective role in my society’s revival. Besides, I have always dreamed to be a teacher; it is a passion, which I truly have since I was young. The strong teaching motivation, which I have is derived from the deep belief that teachers can make a big difference in their students’ lives. In addition, I believe that teaching is a noble profession, which should be taken seriously. I know that being a teacher is never easy; it comes with high responsibilities and obstacles, but I am sure that I have suitable qualifications, which make me eligible to overcome them. Education as a basic concept in my perspective is all about developing knowledge, skills, values, ethics, physical and spiritual aspects,

In the United States, majority of teachers are public school teachers and they make over three millions in numbers. The number of pupils per teacher has recorded a decline for the last few decades and it continues to decline to date. The average class size presently is over 20 pupils for public elementary schools and 23.4 for public secondary schools. This can tell the reason as to why teachers leave teaching professions because of workload.

In the first year of teaching, four out of ten teachers quit. An educators job is not a walk in the park. In Kansas, we are facing a shortage of teachers. The most areas that are facing these shortages are Special Education, Adaptive and Functional Special Education, Early Childhood Handicapped, and hearing and visual impaired. It has been reported that Fewer students have chosen to major in education. There are many reasons that are causing the shortages, lack of

the program for teachers with 0-3 years experience. Related studies reviewed by the Council reinforced the need for a structured teacher support. There was the consensus that the beginning teacher should not develop a “curve of disenchantment” especially in their first three years of teaching. In an interview of 20 teachers in a small public high school in Cavite City, the researcher found out that none of them have a formal induction when they first started to work in the school. They all found out their rights, responsibilities, expected tasks, the history of the organization and many more by hearsays or stories of their fellow employees which sometimes brought them confusion, anxiety stress, and worst burn-out. The situation might have caused teachers to think of quitting their jobs and find other careers somewhere else. The major thrust of this study was to identify the relationship of the induction program to the performance and morale of teachers in DepEd, Cavite City. The findings of this study will
