Burnout at school. Characteristics and possible interventions on the phenomenon


Abstract

From some years burnout seems to have an increasing escalation among teachers, with serious consequences both for the person that lives the uneasiness and for the organization school and for the students. Burnout is not therefore a problem of the single teacher, on which to act individually; it asks instead for interventions of prevention and contrast to level of group and system, to realize through projects of training that promote cooperation and sharing inside the teaching staff and among the different components of the school.
