Abstract: This article presents the French-Canadian validation of the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) developed by Schaufeli et al. The BAT scale is designed to evaluate both core symptoms (BAT-C) and secondary symptoms (BAT-S) of burnout. Empirical tests were conducted using three distinct samples of teachers from two different Canadian provinces ( n 1  = 488; n 2  = 522; n 3  = 269). The validation process followed the transcultural validation procedure proposed by Lauzier et al. The contributions of these findings support the assertion that the BAT demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties and provides substantial evidence for its construct validity, fidelity, and criterion validity (concurrent, divergent, and convergent). Additionally, these results underscore the significance of addressing burnout issues among teachers, as highlighted by comparing the study groups with established norms within other occupational populations.
