Description
The purpose of this study is to identify the commonalities of reasons and factors that drive art educators to have feelings of stress and burnout. This study will also identify practical solutions that art educators can implement in their careers to alleviate stress and burnout. By using an ethnographic approach, I can focus on the communal aspect of art teachers in their school community to be able to pinpoint what the commonalities are across a group of participants. Participants in this study are art teachers who have self-identified as having feelings of burnout.
The overall findings of this study are how every part of an art teacher’s day is filled with stressors. From before arrival to after dismissal, art teachers are over-exerting themselves to be able to succeed in their careers.
In conclusion, art teachers need to be more prioritized in their school community, not only in morale support but in advocacy. The significance of this study is to have real art teachers give their insight on what can be done either personally or on a large administrative scale to improve the work conditions of art teachers.
