Abstract

Educators at all levels of education are expected to balance multiple responsibilities, wearing numerous hats throughout their careers. This dynamic profession demands meticulous preparation, planning, lesson delivery, assessment creation and grading, administrative duties, curriculum development, student counselling, research involvement, and professional development pursuits. These challenges are compounded by evolving educational landscapes, as seen in the New Zealand education system, which has introduced complexities such as increased workloads, diverse student needs requiring differentiated teaching approaches, and the integration of new technologies in teaching and assessment, including distance learning, blended learning, and eLearning. Additional stressors arise from declining educational standards, language proficiency barriers among students, and escalating expectations from internal and external stakeholders. These professional demands are further amplified by the complexities of educators' personal lives amidst global social and economic changes.
