Role Conflict among High School Teacher-Coaches: A Review of the Literature
Abstract
The multitude of demands required of today’s high school teachers who are also athletic coaches often causes a problematic role conflict in which they must prioritize one role over the other. This literature review is part of a larger research study that aims to inform leaders, change policy, and improve practice for high school teacher-coaches. The purpose of this literature review is to explore these dual roles and responsibilities of today’s high school teacher-coaches in Louisiana public schools using role theory as a theoretical framework to help understand their decision-making processes.
