This research explores the consequences and reasons behind teacher burnout as well as teacher turnover. It provides the answers to the question: What causes the teacher to burnout? To answer this question, there are three themes identified in this research: [1] Mistreatment of principals, [2] The impact of teacher stress on students, and [3] The heavy workload on teachers. The paper goes on to examine how teachers end up quitting their careers and how work-related stress vastly affects their performance in class as well as their overall mental health. There are many reasons behind teacher burnout and stress. This paper will explore the biggest ones behind this problem that affects not just one district but across districts nationwide as well as in other countries.
