Book Synopsis Educator Stress by : Teresa Mendonça McIntyre
Download or read book Educator Stress written by Teresa Mendonça McIntyre and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the most current thinking and research on educator stress and how education systems can support quality teachers and quality education. It adopts an occupational health perspective to examine the problem of educator stress and presents theory-driven intervention strategies to reduce stress load and support educator resilience and healthy school organizations. The book provides an international perspective on key challenges facing educators such as teacher stress, teacher retention, training effective teachers, teacher accountability, cyber-bullying in schools, and developing healthy school systems. Divided into four parts, the book starts out by introducing and defining the problem of educator stress internationally and examining educator stress in the context of school, education system, and education policy factors. Part I includes chapters on educator mental health and well-being, stress-related biological vulnerabilities, the relation of stress to teaching self-efficacy, turnover in charter schools, and the role of culture in educator stress. Part II reviews the main conceptual models that explain educator stress while applying an occupational health framework to education contexts which stresses the role of organizational factors, including work organization and work practices. It ends with a proposal of a dynamic integrative theory of educator stress, which highlights the changing nature of educator stress with time and context. Part III starts with the definition of what constitute healthy school organizations as a backdrop to the following chapters which review the application of occupational health psychology theories and intervention approaches to reducing educator stress, promoting teacher resources and developing healthy school systems. Chapters include interventions at the individual, individual-organizational interface and organizational levels. Part III ends with a chapter addressing cyber-bullying, a new challenge affecting schools and teachers. Part IV discusses the implications for research, practice and policy in education, including teacher training and development. In addition, it presents a review of methodological issues facing researchers on educator stress and identifies future trends for research on this topic, including the use of ecological momentary assessment in educator stress research. The editors’ concluding comments reflect upon the application of an occupational health perspective to advance research, practice and policy directed at reducing stress in educators, and promoting teacher and school well-being.

Download or read book The Special Educator and Job Stress written by Charles V. L. Dedrick and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph examines stressors encountered by special educators, ways of coping with professional demands, and reasons why some teachers handle job stress better than others. It is intended to help special education teachers take a more objective look at what they do and identify strategies and techniques to alleviate some job-related stress and tension. Symptoms of burnout are reviewed, and a questionnaire is provided to help special educators examine behavioral patterns to determine the degree of burnout they are experiencing. The impact of stress on the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of teachers is examined, and the manner in which job stress affects professional performance is addressed. Several studies that look at job stress and the special educator from a generic, nonspecific perspective are described, and then job stress of teachers of students with learning disabilities, behavioral/emotional problems, and mental deficiencies is discussed. Individual initiatives and organizational strategies for developing coalitions among school staff are offered. Ten stress management strategies are analyzed: diet and exercise, relaxation techniques, social support systems, goal setting, creative problem solving, time management, networking, self-talk, stroking, and self-given gifts. Includes 108 references. (JDD)

Book excerpt: Examines the stress in teaching multidisciplinary concept broad enough to include physiological, psychological, organisational and legal perspectives. The editors see stress in teaching as an interactionist concept - a complex and sometimes pracarious balance between perceived work pressures, coping strategies and stress reactions. The early chapters in the book refelct this view and make contributions to understanding the causes and costs of stress in teaching. The authors of these chapters come, collectively, to the conclusion that there is an alarmingly low level of job satisfaction in taching and that turnover intentions appear to be on the increase. This pessimistic view is challenged in later chapters by professionals working in the filed of stress management. These contributions highlight the danger of focusing stress research and management. These contributions highlight the danger of focusing stress research and management strategies on the individual rather than the organization, and report the authors' "hands on" knowledge of teacher support teams and workshop and whole-school approaches to diminishing the causes and costs of teacher stress and improving training and career development. The concluding chapters demonstrate the editors belief that useful insights for workers in the education service can be gained fromstudies of workplace stress in other occupations.

Book Synopsis Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability by : Richard Lambert
Download or read book Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability written by Richard Lambert and published by IAP. This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts today face increasing calls for accountability during a time when budgets are stretched and students’ needs have become increasingly complex. The teacher’s responsibility is to educate younger people, but now more than ever, teachers face demands on a variety of fronts. In addition to teaching academic content, schools are responsible for students’ performance on state-wide tests. They are also asked to play an increasingly larger role in children’s well-being, including their nutritional needs and social and emotional welfare. Teachers have shown themselves to be more than capable of taking up such challenges, but what price is paid for the increasing demands we are placing on our schools? Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability is about the nature of teachers stress and the resources they can employ to cope with it. Accountability is a two-way street and the authors in this volume suggest remedies for reducing teacher stress and in all likelihood increasing student learning—greater administrative support, more and better instructional materials, specialized resources targeted at demanding children, parental support, and professional recognition. Readers will discover that lack of funding, low pay, concerns about academic performance and student misbehavior, and increased public and governmental scrutiny are not exclusive to the United States. In this volume, the third in a series on Research on Stress and Coping in Education, authors from Australia, Turkey, Malaysia, and the Netherlands sound the same alarms, post the same warnings, and draw similarly disturbing conclusions.
Book Synopsis The Effects of High-stakes Testing on Reported Teacher Stress and Teacher Self-efficacy by : Alejandro C. Gonzalez
Download or read book The Effects of High-stakes Testing on Reported Teacher Stress and Teacher Self-efficacy written by Alejandro C. Gonzalez and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers' work-related stress and self-efficacy levels across all grades are influenced by the demands of high-stakes testing. This mixed methods study examined the relationship among assigned subject matter, teacher job-related stress, and teacher self-efficacy of high-stakes testing on teachers' perceptions of their self-efficacy and work-related stress. Quantitative data was collected via the High Stakes Testing on Self-Efficacy and Teacher Stress Survey , from a purposeful sample of 145 participants. The data from the survey was analyzed using independent t-tests to determine if there was a statistically significant mean difference between the independent variable of assigned subject matter and the dependent variables of teacher self-efficacy and teacher job-related stress. A Pearson Product Moment Correlation was also utilized to determine if there was a statistically significant relationship between the two continuous variables of teacher self-efficacy and teacher work-related stress. Qualitative data were gathered through participant responses during focus group sessions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The data from this study showed that there was no significant mean difference in assigned subject matter and teacher self-efficacy. However, study results reported that there was a statistically significant mean difference between assigned subject matter and teachers' work-related stress and there was also a significant relationship between teacher work-related stress and teacher self-efficacy. Analysis of focus group interviews identified three themes that triggered teacher work-related stress: (a) lack of time, (b) modifications to local curriculum, and (c) testing of special education populations. Two themes also emerged that identified two areas that impacted teacher self-efficacy: (a) school leadership and (b) educational triage.
Book Synopsis A Comparison of the Occupational Stress Among Taiwanese Special Education Teachers in Three Different Educational Settings by : Yung-Chang Li

This book was released on 1996 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of the study were to modify the Pullis Inventory of Teacher Stress (PITS) for use in Taiwan and to investigate and compare the sources, effects, and coping strategies of occupational stress among the special school, special self-contained classroom, and regular classroom teachers in Taiwan. Procedures. Three groups of 10 special education teachers who were randomly selected from each population in Taiwan participated in the pilot study, whereas 60 special education teachers of the special school, 50 of the special self-contained classroom, and 40 of the regular classroom in formal study. Pilot Results. The range of reliabilities was from. 7432 to. 9531 for the whole inventory and its subscales. The validity was. 7895 for the first and second parts of the inventory. Factor analysis yielded four factors--school factor, pupil characteristics, workload issues, and career issues. Formal Results. First, the formal study showed that there were significant differences regarding the sources and the effects of occupational stress among special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Next, there was no significant difference among the coping strategies used by special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Third, there was no overall relationship between the levels of the occupational stress and the time desired to stay in the profession by special education teachers, but the relationship was significant occurred in the special self-contained class teachers. The greater the level of occupational stress, the shorter the time they desired staying in their profession. Finally, the sources, effects, and coping strategies of the occupational stress could discriminate significantly among special education teachers of the special school, special self-contained class, and regular classroom. Recommendations. Further research studies with a larger sample or random sampling are recommended. Second, future studies might investigate more useful coping strategies provided by the school in addition to the personal strategies that were listed on the inventory. A qualitative approach, for example, interview, besides open-ended questions might be helpful for collecting such information. Third, due to the weak classification result in the current research study, a discriminant analysis with equal group sizes and dependent variables other than source, effect, and coping strategy, for example, gender, age, or teaching equipment and materials, is recommended if further research studies hope to focus on this area. Finally, a longitudinal study would enable an in-depth examination of occupational stress. It might be helpful for understanding how special education teachers deal with their occupational stress across their career.

Book excerpt: Introduction In everyday life, working class people come across many situations where they have to cope with many situations and conditions, putting them in a lot of stress. Stress has become an inevitable part of human life in modern times. It is becoming a global phenomenon affecting all genres of people. The optimum level of occupational stress poses a risk to most organizations. “Teachers in particular not only have the stress of dealing with so many diverse children on a day to day basis; they are also entitled with educating and helping to mold these children into productive members of society. With rules, regulations, guidelines and performance expectations can induce very high levels of stress; the job can be demanding and has hardly any relief. Quite often teachers must take their work home overnight or on the weekends in order to be prepared for the next class or session on the field, or the teachers will have to score the test given to the children, in free time, which is possible only when he/she gets home. The traditional summer break that so many teachers once looked forward to, has began to reduce over the past few years, as well with most schools beginning to adopt block schedules which require yearlong school sessions with no more than nine week vacation period”(Kaur, 2011).

Book Synopsis An Exploratory Study on Occupational Stress and Coping Strategies of Special Educators in South India by : Leemamol Mathew
Download or read book An Exploratory Study on Occupational Stress and Coping Strategies of Special Educators in South India written by Leemamol Mathew and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This empirical study aimed at examining the sources, effects, and the coping strategies of occupational stress among special educators in India. The Government policies are tailored to enhance the education of children with disabilities, but very few of these policies focus the special educators who take care of students with disabilities. These educators have largely been clubbed together with teachers of regular schools. Therefore, the issues of special educators have always been a neglected field in India. Of the 21 million disabled population of the country, 12 million are children with various disabilities, according to Census of India 2001. To meet the educational requirements of these children the country has round about 3200 registered special schools. The number of special educators in each school varies according to the student strength. And the level and nature of stress experienced by this population have hardly been the focus of study. Hence, here an attempt is made to study the nature and levels of occupational stress experienced by teachers of special schools. The geographical area of the study was two districts, Calicut and Malappuram, of the state of Kerala, South India. 35 special educators, who had more than two years of teaching experience, were randomly selected for the study from the schools in this geographical area. The methodology adopted was both quantitative and qualitative. To collect the quantitative data, the occupational Stress Indicator, developed by Cooper, et. al., (1988) was used. The Indicator evaluates occupational stress by analysing five key factors: i) Sources of stress, ii) Individual characteristics, iii) Locus of control, iv) Coping strategies, and v) Effects of stress. To collect qualitative data an unstructured personal interview was used. The quantitative results revealed that the sources of stress spread from: i) school structure and climate, ii) home/work interface, iii) relationship with other people, iv) intrinsic job factors. The common effect of stress on special educators was found to be health related problems - both physical and mental - and job dissatisfaction. There was no organised method to redress the problem rising from occupational stress. As a result, the most commonly used coping strategy were social support, task strategies, and home/school relationship. While the qualitative data confirmed the findings of the quantitative data, it pointed out some other issues, which the quantitative indicators did not cover. The sources of stress as repeatedly reported in the qualitative interviews were that of low salary - due to the subcontracting by the Government to NGO's, job insecurity, work overload, and high teacher-student ratio. The results point to the need of Government policies targeting specifically to the special educators if there has to be tangible improvements in the quality of life of the children with disabilities.
