We are moving away from our usual podcasts on current events this week to talk about a major issue that is facing all of us younger teachers: The Burnout. We will be talking about the infamous 5 year teacher burnout, and the shocking 50% of teachers who leave the profession before they have the chance to start.
So the original number came from a 1991 APA Psychology article by Barry Farber where he actually puts the number at “41% will depart in the first four years.” This later was cited by Ingersoll’s study in 2014, which is when I originally heard the number in college. Both studies were looking exclusively at New York Public Schools.
The number allegedly rose in the 2000’s, with some articles jumping as high as 58% leaving in inner city schools in Chicago and LA.
But a 2019 blog article from “American University” comfortably settled between 19-30%. So I guess it's improving?
