Abstract

Teaching is a profession that is bound by ethical conduct, complex practice, sound theoretical understanding and higher-order learning (Shulman, 1998). This often leads to ‘high occupational stress’ that could, in turn, potentially result in job dissatisfaction, burnout, and finally leaving the profession. These were the reasons enumerated by teachers in one urban alternative school where 10 out of 26 of them quit the same year; a phenomenon that the school has experienced every couple of years.
