Fitzpatrick, Erin V. 2022. The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Special Educators’ Perceived Levels of Burnout. Master's thesis, Harvard University Division of Continuing Education.Abstract
Using a mixed methods approach, special education workers’ perceptions of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on professional experiences and burnout will be assessed. Burnout will be measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory on three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted to provide context for and clarification on special educators’ perceptions of burnout before and after the COVID-19 pandemic altered educational processes. The proposed hypothesis is that the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent changes to public education concerning high needs students (HNS) in an urban K-8 school negatively impacted special educators by increasing burnout.Terms of Use
