The teacher's task imposes physical, mental, emotional and relational demands that in interaction with individual resources can negatively impact their health and well-being. The phenomenon of resilience is particularly important in the educational process because, after the family, the school is a key environment for acquiring the necessary skills to get ahead thanks to the ability of people to overcome the difficulties of life. The purpose of this study is to establish relationships between the perceptions of burnout and resilience in the participating teachers. It is a descriptive study carried out with the voluntary participation of a sample of teachers from the high school teachers Institutes of the Province of Huesca. Initially, 1268 teachers are invited, of which 334 responses are received. The statistical analysis involves a descriptive part and another with correlational and factorial study of the questionnaire. The results confirm that the personal characteristics and resilience of the person act as modulating variables against the burnout syndrome.
