Globally, educators are leaving the profession at such a high rate that graduating teacher candidates cannot keep up with adequate staffing demands as Katnik (2020) suggested in a recent report to the State of Missouri. The purpose of this study was to explore the current 21st century "Impact of Secondary Traumatic Stress, Compassion Fatigue, Compassion Satisfaction and Burnout in Public K-12 Teachers." This study sought to identify if educators are wanting to leave the education profession. What is the impact of secondary traumatic stress and what is the impact of compassion fatigue, burnout and compassion satisfaction in educators? To help answer these questions, this study used a quantitative study that utilized a three part survey. Three Midwestern school districts responded and approved research study participation among K-12 educators in a voluntary convenience sample survey. The demographics portion identified participants years of experience, current teaching level, and if the educators plan on teaching in the same building the following school year. Participants also completed part two of the survey that utilized the Secondary Traumatic Stress Survey by Schepers (2017) and part three of the survey that included the Professional Quality of Life Survey by ProQOL (2021). Data was analyzed using SPSS for descriptive statistics, a two-tailed test for statistical significance and a Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to answer the three research questions. This study revealed that educators are experiencing moderate levels of burnout, secondary traumatic stress and compassion satisfaction. Suggestions for implications for practice and recommendations for future research are given. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
