Abstract Details

2023, Master of Arts, Wittenberg University, Education.
I explored the potential ways teaching during the COVID-19 Pandemic impacted teachers’ outlook on their profession. Participants included 30 full-time teachers and two former teachers from Marazul High School (MHS), a suburban high school in Northern California. I utilized an explanatory sequential mixed methods design for the study combining the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Educators Survey (MBI – ES), focus groups, and interviews. The MHS teachers who experienced high levels of burnout left the profession, and the MHS teachers who did not experience burnout stayed in the profession. Student behavior was the most discussed topic when in the focus groups and interviews. Based on the data, it is also possible that teachers’ relationships with administrators impacted their decision to remain in (or to leave) the profession.
