Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Gmelch follows a sensible, pragmatic sequence of presentation in this book. . . . This book would be a definite asset for all academic libraries. In fact, I would urge departmental chairs and deans to issue it to each graduate student completing their program and entering higher education and each new assistant professor joining the faculty. --Academic Library Book Review Anxiety, frustration, and strain leading to stress and burnout. Who hasn′t felt these pressures to some degree? Stress is a common feature of academic life--and not always a bad thing--according to education professor Walter H. Gmelch, who has studied faculty stress for 15 years. "Positive" stress can actually help make you a more productive scholar. But, how do we manage those little (and not so little) annoying moments and patterns of behavior that build up to the boiling point by the end of the week? Based on his extensive research, Gmelch outlines the chief forms of faculty stress and its major causes. He then provides concrete advice on what you can do about the negative stressors in your job and in other areas of your life. Replete with exercises to help understand how stress affects you and forms to help you build a plan to cope with this stress, this book will be welcome relief for any faculty member.

Download or read book Stress in Teachers written by Jack Dunham and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1998-08-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Coping Strategies of College Faculty Experiencing Stress and Burnout at Work by : Rachel R. Janczak
Download or read book Coping Strategies of College Faculty Experiencing Stress and Burnout at Work written by Rachel R. Janczak and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine how faculty's coping strategies were related to recovery from stressors at work. This study aimed to determine if available resources help them cope with the stress they experience at work, and whether such coping strategies were negatively related to burnout from the profession. It was predicted that the fewer resources faculty had available to use towards coping with their stress, the more stress they would experience, which was expected to relate to more burnout symptoms. Faculty at two different public universities were invited to complete questionnaires including the Conservation of Resources - Evaluation, Perceived Stress Scale, the brief COPE Inventory, and the Burnout Measure-Short Version. This study was an extension of prior work on stress, coping, and burnout in the workplace done in a K-12 context. The major question here was if findings would hold among university faculty working in the United States. A sample of 58 participants from UW-Stout and 14 participants from MNSU were collected. Correlation and regression analyses did not reveal support for the predictions. Implications and future research are discussed.

Book Synopsis Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability by : Richard G. Lambert
Download or read book Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountability written by Richard G. Lambert and published by Information Age Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 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 Stress in Teaching by : Dr Jack Dunham
Download or read book Stress in Teaching written by Dr Jack Dunham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stress involved in a career in teaching has increased considerably in recent years. In England and Wales the implementation of the Education Reform Act has led to a whole range of organisational and curricular changes to add to the existing pressures of discipline problems, poor working conditions and low pay. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and even physical illness are just some of the symptoms that result. This established guide, now wholly updated for teachers and managers in the 1990s, shows how to recognize the signs of stress and how to develop strategies to control it. Its practical advice, field-tested in numberous workshops for teachers and heads, should help scholls to reduce pressures on their staff by the development of satisfactory whole-school policies and teachers to be more effective in the management of their own stress levels.
