| Summary: | Male students are especially susceptible to becoming disgruntled with high school and leaving school early. A quantitative correlational research study was conducted to explore whether teacher support can predict school burnout among Christian high school males. One hundred twenty-six male students from four private, Christian high schools in North Carolina and Virginia participated in this study which examined four sub-categories of teacher support (investedness, positive regard, expectations, and accessible). The Teacher Support Scale measured teacher support and the School Burnout Inventory measured participants’ level of school burnout. Multiple regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between perceived teacher support and male students’ level of school burnout. The perception of Christian male students’ personal connection with teachers, specifically teachers’ positive regard, is believed to be a strong predictor of school burnout. |
