Crisis in Education: Stress and Burnout in the American Teacher (Jossey Bass Education Series)
No Customer Reviews
With just 59 percent of teachers lasting more than four years on the job, the U.S education system is in grave jeopardy. In this new book, Farber argues that unless the problems of teachers stress and burnout are understood and addressed, it is unlikely that current efforts to restructure American education will be effective. Using case material, empirical data, public surveys, and the results from his own study of seven hundred New York public school teachers, Farber points to a widespread ambivalence in the United States towards the teaching profession. He shows how that ambivalence, coupled with increasing public criticism and low pay, often make the job of teaching untenable.
