Abstract
This project, "The Causes of Teacher Stress From A Retired Teacher's Perspective"
explores the careers of three retired teachers, focusing specifically upon what created the
most stress for each of them throughout their careers. The research techniques used with
each subject consisted of a two hour long interview and a thirty question survey. The
results showed that a lack of support from administrators and colleagues was the number
one cause of stress for all three subjects throughout their careers, but many other causes
of stress were also mentioned. The narrative form of this project was chosen to explicitly
and personally demonstrate how stress affects teachers.
