Podcast 51 – Teacher Ethics, Burnout and Demoralisation
In our 51st interview (the 28th interview in our 100 women series) with Professor Doris A. Santoro, an academic at Bowdoin College is a liberal arts college in America’s Northeast. We discuss with Doris, 'Are teachers demoralised or burnt out, and why do teachers have a reluctance to say 'no'?' Listen as we ask Doris how she managed to have two books published at the same time, and in this podcast, hear how we unpick what her research suggests about the teaching workforce and ethical dilemmas teachers have to make.
In this 40-minute podcast, we break all the rules about our short-podcasts and go deeper into an academic conversation about teacher research. With Doris and Teacher Toolkit founder, Ross McGill, we discuss what kind of experience students have at Bowdoin College, how workload can be offset by specific skill sets and understand hear Doris speaks about her education, her career and how she got to where she is today.
We also uncover how teacher’s struggle to meet all children’s needs and how not to be demoralised by that, and why Doris wants to see school funding change in the American education system! As an author himself, Ross is keen to understand how Doris has managed to publish two books in the same time period and why teachers have a reluctance to say 'no' in the workplace.
In the middle section of the podcast, we find out about 'resistance' and why sometimes having an ethical source is worth exploring, discovering social media’s influence on education policy and where women are in education today in America and how Doris believe rethinking female leadership roles will benefit American society.
Doris' books, Demoralized is an analysis of professional dissatisfaction that challenges the common explanation of teacher burnout, and Principled Resistance unpicks the steps teachers take, in their reasoning and in their actions, and what ethical dilemmas they face, which have a significant impact on American society. You can find out more about Doris and her research on our website ...
