Teachers and educators are a different breed, uniquely equipped to handle the diversity of students and the array of educational challenges they encounter. This study investigates the sense of purpose in life among pre-service and in-service teachers, using the Purpose in Life Test, a tool rooted in the ideas of Viktor Frankl. By analyzing the scores of these educators, the research aims to understand how their sense of purpose influences their ability to cope with the demands of the teaching profession. The findings offer insights into the traits that sustain educators over time and suggest ways these traits can and should be nurtured and developed.
