Summary:Network society and inclusive education are now two major challenges for teachers. Both increases the stress factors of the teaching profession. The engagement is proposed as an affective-cognitive status which linked to the development of emotional skills. It can be a tool for teachers to cope with job stress or burnout. A lot of studies indicate the need to develop emotional skills and emotional intelligence training programs to improve teachers welfare. A literature review was performed to establish the connection between the concepts of burnout, engagement, emotional intelligence and emotional skills. It is noted that many studies show the relationship between the concepts. They indicate the need to train teachers in emotional intelligence to be able to walk from the burnout to engagement. It means that is necessary to design emotional intelligence training programs for teachers to give them the necessary emotional tools to develop their profession.
