Exploring Teacher Wellbeing in Different National Contexts

This Master of Teaching Research Project is a qualitative study that examines teacher wellbeing in different national contexts. The existing literature on teacher stress suggests that there are several factors that contribute to teacher stress which include excessive administrative demands, negative relationships with administrators, and lack of preparation. This study validates the existing literature while highlighting specific strategies that supported three teachers in overcoming the experience of burnout. This study identifies key strategies in promoting positive wellbeing in teachers. This study contributes to the literature related to teacher wellbeing as it highlights a correlation between the support and expectations in which each teacher had access to in their national context, and teacher wellbeing. This study makes recommendations for various stakeholders in order to promote positive wellbeing in both teachers and students in different national contexts
