Prevention of Teacher Burnout: The Challenge of the Future.
Matthews, Doris B.; And Others
Strategies that may be used by schools to prevent teacher burnout suggested in this paper are: (1) increasing staff input in decision making; (2) improving the work environment; (3) increasing the flexibility of the school structure; (4) providing opportunities for individual time-out; (5) increasing the sense of individual work significance; and (6) providing opportunities for teachers to achieve satisfaction by reaching self-determined professional goals. Coping strategies for individuals include: (1) cognitive restructuring; (2) effective time management; (3) relaxation training; (4) visualization; (5) quieting reflex; (6) autogenics; and (7) biofeedback. Establishing low-stress organizational techniques as well as incorporating individual stress management techniques can prevent burnout, promote personal growth, and allow professional growth. (JD)
