Hi Jocelyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is true that teachers feel powerless in their classrooms at times when expectations are place on them without the required resources. Moreover, at one time there were two teachers in a classroom of 25 kindergartens but now things have changed with staff/ratios and teachers are still expected to perform as before when having two teachers can be rather challenging to make sure every child needs are met, and that they are performing on task. Therefore this could be one of the reasons for burnout, and why so many teachers are changing their profession from the early childhood field.
