Teachers: please help a fellow teacher with a short survey
For the completion of my final requirement for an MAT degree, I am in the process of conducting research and could use your help. The link below will lead you to a brief 10 question survey on the topic of teacher burnout. Your answers will be completely anonymous and will only be read by me for the purpose of evaluating any patterns in the questions.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/93BBLWK
Why does a new teacher want to study burnout? A staggering 50% of beginning teachers leave the profession in their first seven years, and two-thirds of those leave in the first four years. Many administrators call the teachers who leave their schools ?good turnover.? But is it prudent to accept that all those who leave the profession are nothing more than bad teachers? I believe the answer is a definitive ?no? and am dedicating my research to finding ways to prevent burnout.
Thank you for your willingness to participate in the survey. As a beginning teacher still learning the rewarding field of education, I cannot thank the teachers who have helped me enough.

Hi there! I'm a regular on the DC board and posted here a few weeks ago asking teachers for 20-minute informational interviews.
As a life coach who's a former teacher who burned out after 5 years, I am keenly interested in your paper. Your study is right in line with why I want to customize my services to schools/teachers. I'm also a former managing editor of a government magazine, so perhaps if you needed someone to proofread/edit your paper, I could do that for you as a trade for letting me learn from your study.
If you're interested, please contact me at dianaforbes1 AT gmail DOT com.
Also, if you or any other teachers reading this can help me gather info/ideas, I'm still doing the informational interviews. They're about 20 minutes (30 if you're into it and chatty). 10 questions about what you like about teaching, your goals, and your obstacles. This input along with that of 25 or so others will help me see some common threads and trends that I can match life coaching resources to and offer to schools/teachers in the future. If interested, please contact me at the e-mail above.
Thanks!
Diana (DC board regular since 2005)
