There are many factors that can lead to burnout in rural educators. It is important to identify and assess these factors and the impact they have on educators and their overall health and wellness. This paper highlights four demographics: geographical location, gender, years of teaching experience, and teaching level to help establish the basis for the research study. The Maslach Burnout Toolkit is used which is comprised of the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Educators Survey (MBI-ES) which looks at the three dimensions to burnout, and the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) which focuses on six domains in the workplace. This research study uses data from 15 rural educators in British Columbia to help get a better understanding of the impact burnout has. Data shows some correlation between participants and burnout in relation to the four demographics and emphasizing the importance of finding way to minimize aspects of burnout, and how to improve and increase overall personal health and
wellness.
