Abstract:

This article is devoted to the problem of professional burnout of a teacher. The authors of the article note that a teacher is a profession that is heavily influenced by professional burnout.   According to them, this is due to the fact that in modern conditions, the teacher's activity is literally saturated with facts causing professional burnout: in modern conditions, the requirements for teachers have increased, programs have changed, he or she is called to solve problems that require serious pedagogical efforts,  large number of social contacts per working day, high responsibility, possible underestimation by the management of teacher's professional activity, and low wages.  Due to chronic overwork, teacher becomes unprepared for positive acceptance of innovations, increasing their own professional competence.
