Audio and video recorders were utilized for data gathering and documentation. A thematic
approach was used to analyze the data gathered. It was found out that teachers encountered varied
experiences including stress, burnout, and job fatigue, unpreparedness and failure to deliver desired
competency, class interruption, and time-consuming. It was also found out that teachers encountered
challenges including stress, additional workload, and multitasking, lack of sleep, and beating deadlines.
It was also found out that teachers developed coping strategies to alleviate stress and pressure within
the field of work such as accepting challenges and becoming flexible, giving oneself a break, time
management, passion for teaching, and self-care. In order to consider the teachers’ situation of having
non-teaching designations, a resiliency program was recommended.
