Teacher Burnout

[Cat_Cat]

I'm interested in researching more about African American educators and representation in schools and also educator burnout. 

Does anyone happen to know of any scholars who have presented, researched and studied on this topic? 

 

Thanks!

I would suggest doing a literature review search which is going to give you a more comprehensive answer of research and scholars in this area.  Some places to initially look: ERIC (https://eric.ed.gov/), Education Abstracts (https://www.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/education-abstracts), and Google Scholar.  If you are currently a student or affiliated with a university, ask your librarian for help with search terms and additional databases to search in.

My former professor at Boston University, Dr. Travis Bristol, now teaching at UC Berkley, has done extensive work on retaining teachers of color. He focuses primarily on male ToCs. I think his research includes reasons for ToCs leaving the profession as well, but he doesn't attribute it to "burnout" per se, but rather a lack of institutional systems of support. Check his stuff out!
