Book excerpt: This qualitative narrative study explores factors that cause teachers to develop compassion fatigue and to leave the classroom or the teaching profession altogether. The purpose of this research is to explore the causes of teacher attrition, specifically reasons related to compassion fatigue, teacher mental health, administrator support, and government policies; in addition, to illuminate strategies to help retain teachers. Title I, elementary school teachers will participate in a semi structured interview in order to provide the researcher with rich stories surrounding their experiences as a teacher. The study will address 1) what factors contribute to teacher compassion fatigue and issues with mental illness for Title I elementary school teachers in Frederick County Public Schools? 2) what influence does compassion fatigue have on teacher mental health? And 3) how do the roles of the teacher lead to compassion fatigue? The results offer school systems and policy makers a different perspective and allow them to search for solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed methods case study examined teachers' levels of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue, or the combination of Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress, and strove to understand how teachers experience these phenomena and what supports could be used to alleviate some of the harmful symptoms of Compassion Fatigue. For this study, I used a Healing Centered Approach and the Compassion Fatigue Theoretical Model to develop a plan to help elevate teacher voice in order to help teachers maintain their well-being and center their humanity. This study also involved two phases that were unsuccessful, and the lessons learned from why they were unsuccessful were added to the findings. I reviewed previous literature around Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction, though most of the work centered around caregivers in the medical profession, workplace well-being, school well-being, and context specific efforts in the District of Columbia Public Schools system that involved teacher and staff well-being. Though the originally intended intervention did not happen, the final research design produced findings around the importance of qualitative research in understanding well-being and Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction, suggestions for schools and districts to support teacher well-being, and the effect the pandemic has had, directly on teachers and indirectly through the pandemic's effects on their students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the cumulative effects of working with high trauma populations as they pertain to education settings. This text incorporates current research, anecdotal stories, and workbook pages so that practitioners are properly informed on how to identify and employ protective practices when it comes to burnout and compassion fatigue. Educators rarely receive training that prepares them for working with children and youth who are the victims of neglect, abuse, poverty, and loss. Education professionals who are already overburdened with an overwhelming number of job-related tasks can find themselves depleted due to their care and concern for their most vulnerable students. As a result, educators experience the physical and emotional symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue. Appropriate for both young and experienced educators, this important text provides a clear and concise approach to the topic of burnout and compassion fatigue that engages the reader in a journey of self-reflection, highlighting potential signs and symptoms of burnout, as well as examining how the school environment and individual characteristics might collide to put educators at risk. Most importantly, this book provides guidance and resources to assist educators in implementing both individual and organizational practices that promote long-term resilience and self-care. To be at their most effective, educators must be able to care for themselves while also caring for their students.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compassion fatigue is a theoretical framework researchers have applied to helping professions other than teaching. The purpose of this report is to propose the use of this theory to better understand the prevalent rates of special education teachers' exit from the profession often labeled as burnout. A qualitative study with six middle school special education teachers makes an argument for greater infusion of this theoretical framework within the academy and among K-12 practitioners. Implications for practice and additional research are presented.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this multiple case study was to examine the relationship between compassion fatigue and elements of burnout among nine in-service elementary special education teachers in Michigan for the purpose of addressing the attrition rate common in special education. The objectives of the study were twofold: (a) to determine if novice elementary school special education teachers exhibit symptoms of burnout and to establish the most prevalent issues related to the subject and (b) to ascertain if elements of compassion fatigue are present and the needed recommendations in response to these symptoms. A script designed to identify how the participants personally and professionally respond to the demands of their elementary level special education teaching position guided the semi-structured, ninety minute interviews with each participant. The analysis process identified the language of burnout and compassion fatigue, as identified in the reported literature review, to determine symptoms of both constructs and suggestions for remedial strategies.

Book excerpt: Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers were struggling with compassion fatigue. While the research base is growing, there is currently limited research that focuses on teachers or on the educational setting. This study had two primary focuses. The first of these focused on uncovering the factors and experiences that contribute to compassion fatigue. The second focused on understanding the effects of compassion fatigue, specifically how the contributing experiences affect teachers emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The study employed a series of semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed for a detailed description of the phenomenon. Additionally, due to the lack of a strong literature base, there was ample room to analyze the data for emergent ideas. Six themes emerged from this study, which include role definition, professional relationships, job satisfaction, health impacts, impacts on teaching and learning, and leadership. These themes detail the challenges faced by teachers on a daily basis and the impacts these experiences have on teachers. The recent changes to the role and expectations of teachers is significant and not sustainable. School leadership and school culture play important roles in teacher experiences of compassion fatigue. Teachers are suffering from intense and frequent of the physical and mental health impacts. This study makes suggestions for ways in which leaders can develop practices and policies that create healthier, happier workplaces for teachers.

Book excerpt: A group of suburban/rural general and special education teachers (n = 260) responded to an electronic survey. The survey was designed to measure the prevalence of an under researched area of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction among teachers working in suburban/rural public schools. The current study hypothesized that the relationship among compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, demographic variables, and teacher stress factors (time management, discipline, motivation, professional distress, and professional investment) would correlate with an increase in compassion fatigue (burnout and secondary traumatic stress) for general and special education teachers working in suburban/rural public schools; furthermore, it predicted a positive correlation among burnout, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction. Findings indicate that both burnout and compassion fatigue have a negative impact on general education or special education teachers (Billingsley & Cross, 1992; Koenig, Rodger, & Specht, 2018; Kokkinos, 2007). The results also indicate a positive correlation between compassion fatigue and teacher burnout, which are negatively related to compassion satisfaction. Implications and future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age with increased teacher preparation requirements, and ever-growing student populations, a great need exists to adequately train and retain highly qualified special education teachers. Special Education is a profession that has long been plagued by shortages of qualified personnel. Many factors contribute to the shortfall of educators in this field. One of the most significant contributing factors to teacher attrition is "burnout" or excessive stresses that can cause a teacher to leave the field. Although literature exists about the phenomenon, discussions within it have not included in-depth analyses from a compassion fatigue (Figley, 1995) perspective. Within the human service professions, compassion fatigue relates to job training, stress, job requirements, and professional support. The four constructs were explored with six secondary special education teachers through qualitative interviews, each reported in vignette format. The selection and format provides the reader awareness about the outplay of compassion fatigue among a specific subgroup of teachers. The present report concludes with recommendations for future studies that could expand the exploration of compassion fatigue reported here. (Contains 1 table.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators have been leaving the field of education at a high rate each year with no signs of slowing down. Tennessee, as well as many other states across the country, have started the school year with unfilled positions due to so many vacancies. Previous researchers found educators left due to an overwhelming workload paired with an escalation in student behaviors, a lack of administrative support, and increased stress dealing with secondary trauma and compassion fatigue. Educators shared they felt isolated as they have neglected their own mental and physical health. The purpose of this basic, interpretive qualitative study was to examine the roles and responsibilities of middle school educators, what their experiences have been with secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, as well as what educators understood secondary trauma and compassion fatigue to be, and what they may be doing about combating compassion fatigue in a school district in Tennessee, Oak Grove School District. I utilized the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) survey to obtain participants who scored a 23 or higher for compassion fatigue. I interviewed 17 full-time educators from 11 middle schools within Oak Grove School District to understand their views concerning secondary trauma and compassion fatigue. The educators shared they had ever-changing roles and responsibilities taking an emotional toll on them. Educators also felt they were underprepared to address the many needs their students brought with them daily into the school building while also sacrificing a healthy work-life balance. Educators also shared, OGSD did not have clear expectations with all educators within their district which led to a hierarchical disconnect from administration and district-level leaders.

Book excerpt: With school reform and teacher accountability on the forefront of the educational landscape, attention has turned to investigating why so many teachers leave the profession after a relatively short time. Burnout is often cited as a major contributor to this teacher exodus. While many studies have focused on teacher burnout relative to the specific tasks that teachers perform and on the populations they serve, there is no research on how teacher burnout differs between Title I and non-Title I schools in an urban school district in Virginia. The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to investigate if teachers’ perceptions of burnout including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, differ between the two types of schools in a single school district. The sample, 145 elementary teachers from Title I and non-Title I schools, voluntarily completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory- Educators Survey (MBI-ES) through SurveyMonkey® online. Results from the self-reported instrument were analyzed for significant statistical differences between scores in the areas of personal accomplishment, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization between the Title I and non-Title I teachers using a multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results indicated that there is no statistical difference in teachers’ perception of overall burnout, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment between the Title I and non-Title I school teachers in this urban school district in Virginia. Keywords: teacher burnout, teacher attrition, Title I, accountability, school reform.

This book was released on 2009-08-14 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some reports estimate that nearly 50% of teachers entering the profession leave within the first five years (Alliance for Excellent Education 2004; Ingersoll, 2003; Quality Counts 2000). One explanation of why teachers leave the profession so early in their career might be related to the emotional nature of the teaching profession. For example, teaching is an occupation that involves considerable emotional labor. Emotional labor involves the effort, planning, and control teachers need to express organizationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions. As such, emotional labor has been associated with job dissatisfaction, health symptoms and emotional exhaustion, which are key components of burnout and related to teachers who drop out of the profession. Research into emotional labor in teaching and other aspects of teachers’ emotions is becoming increasingly important not only because of the growing number of teachers leaving the profession, but also because unpleasant classroom emotions have considerable implications for student learning, school climate and the quality of education in general. Using a variety of different methodological and theoretical approaches, the authors in this edited volume, Advances in Teacher Emotion Research: The Impact on Teachers’ Lives, provide a systematic overview that enriches our understanding of the role of emotions in teachers’ professional lives and work. More specifically, the authors discuss inquiry related to teachers’ emotions in educational reform, teacher identity, student involvement, race/class/gender issues, school administration and inspection, emotional labor, teacher burnout and several other related issues. This volume, then, represents the accumulation of different epistemological and theoretical positions related to inquiry on teachers’ emotions, acknowledging that emotions are core components of teachers’ lives. Advances in Teacher Emotion Research takes an eclectic look at teacher emotions, presenting current research from diverse perspectives, thereby making this volume a significant contribution to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All humans encounter challenges in life; teachers are no different. Sometimes these trials knock the wind right out of us and cause us to fall into despair. Occasionally, these setbacks, if educators pay attention, can offer new insights into ways to rebound from stressful life events. Teacher Confidential: Personal Stories of Stress, Self-Care, and Resilience tells the stories of seven educators who have fallen, but have learned critical life lessons. They share these messages in this compilation of nonfiction essays in the voices of PreK-16 educators. It relates the personal experiences of teachers and their steps toward healing and self-care. The educators embrace vulnerability and share on topics such as: the death of a spouse, workplace bullying, the failed induction of a first-year passionate teacher, domestic abuse that ends in divorce, job dissatisfaction that transforms to joy, finding gratitude for teaching in the face of a cancer diagnosis, the road to weight loss and healthy living, and coming out as a gay educator. Authentic, courageous, and cathartic, these accounts of humanity and strength encourage other teachers to reflect more deeply on their own lives outside of the classroom. Teacher Confidential: Personal Stories of Stress, Self-Care, and Resilience offers a clearer understanding of what happens to teachers after the school bell rings, and it underscores teachers ability to become resilient and remain in the profession to better serve learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century and its many challenges (invasion of digital technology, climate change, health crises, political crises, etc.) alert us that we need new educational responses, led by new education professionals. Research has shown that for these professionals to change in a substantial and profound way, they must change their identity, that is, the way in which they give meaning and meaning to their professional work. This book exposes, based on one of the most current and advanced theories for analyzing identity change -the theory of the dialogical self-, what changes should take place and how to promote them in eleven fundamental professional profiles in current education (teachers of student-teachers, primary & secondary teachers, inclusive teachers, inquiring teachers, mentors, school principals, university teachers, academic advisors, technologic/hybrid teachers, Learning specialists & educational researchers).
