Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age with increased teacher preparation requirements, and ever-growing student populations, a great need exists to adequately train and retain highly qualified special education teachers. Special Education is a profession that has long been plagued by shortages of qualified personnel. Many factors contribute to the shortfall of educators in this field. One of the most significant contributing factors to teacher attrition is "burnout" or excessive stresses that can cause a teacher to leave the field. Although literature exists about the phenomenon, discussions within it have not included in-depth analyses from a compassion fatigue (Figley, 1995) perspective. Within the human service professions, compassion fatigue relates to job training, stress, job requirements, and professional support. The four constructs were explored with six secondary special education teachers through qualitative interviews, each reported in vignette format. The selection and format provides the reader awareness about the outplay of compassion fatigue among a specific subgroup of teachers. The present report concludes with recommendations for future studies that could expand the exploration of compassion fatigue reported here. (Contains 1 table.).
Book Synopsis Teacher and Administrator Perceptions of Compassion Fatigue and Attrition of Special Education Teachers by : Kathleen Elizabeth Borginis
Download or read book Teacher and Administrator Perceptions of Compassion Fatigue and Attrition of Special Education Teachers written by Kathleen Elizabeth Borginis and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study was designed to determine the relationship between special education teacher attrition and compassion fatigue. Further, this study looked at comparing levels of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress among current special education teachers in four different types of school settings. These school settings included suburban schools, urban schools, schools that service a combination of both suburban and urban populations, and intermediate unit schools. This study also sought to determine the perceptions of both current special education teachers and school administrators about the factors that contribute to special education teacher attrition. The research study was conducted through both surveys and interviews and included 60 special education teacher participants and 23 school administrators. In order to determine the perceptions of special education teachers in regards to their current levels of compassion fatigue, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) was administered as part of the special education teacher survey. The results of this study indicated that compassion fatigue is not a major factor contributing to special education teacher attrition, as most teachers scored in the low to average range on the measurements of burnout and secondary traumatic stress when completing the ProQOL. Since these factors did not report significant results, other factors contributing to special education teacher attrition were analyzed and the concept of demoralization was presented as a possible larger cause contributing to special education teacher attrition. Other factors contributing to special education teacher attrition identified in this study include paperwork demands, support from administrators, and working with students with challenging behaviors. This study sought to further expand the research into special education attrition, in order to help maintain quality special education teachers in classrooms with students with the most significant needs.
Book Synopsis Overcoming Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in Schools by : Alison L. Dubois
Download or read book Overcoming Burnout and Compassion Fatigue in Schools written by Alison L. Dubois and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the cumulative effects of working with high trauma populations as they pertain to education settings. This text incorporates current research, anecdotal stories, and workbook pages so that practitioners are properly informed on how to identify and employ protective practices when it comes to burnout and compassion fatigue. Educators rarely receive training that prepares them for working with children and youth who are the victims of neglect, abuse, poverty, and loss. Education professionals who are already overburdened with an overwhelming number of job-related tasks can find themselves depleted due to their care and concern for their most vulnerable students. As a result, educators experience the physical and emotional symptoms of burnout and compassion fatigue. Appropriate for both young and experienced educators, this important text provides a clear and concise approach to the topic of burnout and compassion fatigue that engages the reader in a journey of self-reflection, highlighting potential signs and symptoms of burnout, as well as examining how the school environment and individual characteristics might collide to put educators at risk. Most importantly, this book provides guidance and resources to assist educators in implementing both individual and organizational practices that promote long-term resilience and self-care. To be at their most effective, educators must be able to care for themselves while also caring for their students.
Book Synopsis Threats to Teaching by : April M. Steen
Download or read book Threats to Teaching written by April M. Steen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of suburban/rural general and special education teachers (n = 260) responded to an electronic survey. The survey was designed to measure the prevalence of an under researched area of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction among teachers working in suburban/rural public schools. The current study hypothesized that the relationship among compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, demographic variables, and teacher stress factors (time management, discipline, motivation, professional distress, and professional investment) would correlate with an increase in compassion fatigue (burnout and secondary traumatic stress) for general and special education teachers working in suburban/rural public schools; furthermore, it predicted a positive correlation among burnout, compassion fatigue, and compassion satisfaction. Findings indicate that both burnout and compassion fatigue have a negative impact on general education or special education teachers (Billingsley & Cross, 1992; Koenig, Rodger, & Specht, 2018; Kokkinos, 2007). The results also indicate a positive correlation between compassion fatigue and teacher burnout, which are negatively related to compassion satisfaction. Implications and future research are discussed.

Book Synopsis Compassion Fatigue and Burnout by : Erica L. Tepper
Download or read book Compassion Fatigue and Burnout written by Erica L. Tepper and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multiple case study was to examine the relationship between compassion fatigue and elements of burnout among nine in-service elementary special education teachers in Michigan for the purpose of addressing the attrition rate common in special education. The objectives of the study were twofold: (a) to determine if novice elementary school special education teachers exhibit symptoms of burnout and to establish the most prevalent issues related to the subject and (b) to ascertain if elements of compassion fatigue are present and the needed recommendations in response to these symptoms. A script designed to identify how the participants personally and professionally respond to the demands of their elementary level special education teaching position guided the semi-structured, ninety minute interviews with each participant. The analysis process identified the language of burnout and compassion fatigue, as identified in the reported literature review, to determine symptoms of both constructs and suggestions for remedial strategies.
Book Synopsis Compassion Fatigue as a Theoretical Framework to Help Understand Burnout Among Special Education Teachers by : Shari Hoffman
Download or read book Compassion Fatigue as a Theoretical Framework to Help Understand Burnout Among Special Education Teachers written by Shari Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compassion fatigue is a theoretical framework researchers have applied to helping professions other than teaching. The purpose of this report is to propose the use of this theory to better understand the prevalent rates of special education teachers' exit from the profession often labeled as burnout. A qualitative study with six middle school special education teachers makes an argument for greater infusion of this theoretical framework within the academy and among K-12 practitioners. Implications for practice and additional research are presented.
Book Synopsis The Day I Reached My Tipping Point... by : Daryl B Sutter
Download or read book The Day I Reached My Tipping Point... written by Daryl B Sutter and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The target audience is education. The age range spans from new teachers in their twenties to veteran teachers. Teachers are found in every geographical region of the world. What they don’t realize, is that through policies, procedures, technology upgrades, parental and administrative as well as government expectations, their psychological well-being is slowly being depleted. The erosion of their compassion and empathy over time leads to anxiety, stress, depression, and burnout which are the themes of this book This depletion can result in qualified, skilled individuals leaving the profession early; others, to seek different career opportunities, or stay in the system just “going with the flow”; potentially eroding their personal values, belief system and principles. The key outcomes from this book are three-fold: first, an understanding of what compassion fatigue (CF) or Occupational Stress Injury (OSI) is and how it can impact an educator. Second, that the causes are identifiable, and that steps can be taken to ward it off. And, finally, for the reader to understand that there is hope and recovery. The main objective of the book is to make educators aware of CF and OSI. CF and OSI in educators can be a slow gradual process where teachers may not even realize the effects until something uncharacteristic occurs because he/she has “just snapped”. Upon recognizing CF/OSI in their life and/or career, readers are encouraged to contact the author at the supplied email address ([email protected]) to share anonymous events, stories and/or occurrences of how, when and why CF/OSI impacted their professional and personal life. These would then be used to. supplement another book, “Tales from the trenches”. The book is a supplement of my counselling, therapist and educational consulting business; Sutter and Associates.
Book Synopsis A Qualitative Narrative Study of Teachers and Compassion Fatigue in Title I Elementary Schools by : Sarah Hudson
Download or read book A Qualitative Narrative Study of Teachers and Compassion Fatigue in Title I Elementary Schools written by Sarah Hudson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative narrative study explores factors that cause teachers to develop compassion fatigue and to leave the classroom or the teaching profession altogether. The purpose of this research is to explore the causes of teacher attrition, specifically reasons related to compassion fatigue, teacher mental health, administrator support, and government policies; in addition, to illuminate strategies to help retain teachers. Title I, elementary school teachers will participate in a semi structured interview in order to provide the researcher with rich stories surrounding their experiences as a teacher. The study will address 1) what factors contribute to teacher compassion fatigue and issues with mental illness for Title I elementary school teachers in Frederick County Public Schools? 2) what influence does compassion fatigue have on teacher mental health? And 3) how do the roles of the teacher lead to compassion fatigue? The results offer school systems and policy makers a different perspective and allow them to search for solutions.
Book Synopsis E-Pedagogy for the Digital Age by : Dr. P. C. Nagasubramani
Download or read book E-Pedagogy for the Digital Age written by Dr. P. C. Nagasubramani and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult learners have more options for enrolling in postsecondary education than ever before, and they are able to use their learning style preference in deciding which program best meets their needs. For some of these students, those programs are fully online, and for others, there is minimal use of technology. As technology grows and become more integrated into individual lives, the unique learning styles and preferences of adults need to learn to be incorporated into instructional design. Drawing on a regional sample of US colleges, 545 adult learners in a graduate programs were surveyed about how to effectively build community in their online classes. Results indicated some agreement with these instructional tools. Mature adult learners, however, were found to have stronger agreement with strategies that included work outside of the formal online class. These results suggest perhaps a greater comfort for adults in working in spaces where there is less likelihood of being judged or graded, and that they might value relational work with other students in different ways than younger adults.

Book Synopsis Compassion Fatigue in Teachers by : Heather M. Prokup
Download or read book Compassion Fatigue in Teachers written by Heather M. Prokup and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers were struggling with compassion fatigue. While the research base is growing, there is currently limited research that focuses on teachers or on the educational setting. This study had two primary focuses. The first of these focused on uncovering the factors and experiences that contribute to compassion fatigue. The second focused on understanding the effects of compassion fatigue, specifically how the contributing experiences affect teachers emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The study employed a series of semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed for a detailed description of the phenomenon. Additionally, due to the lack of a strong literature base, there was ample room to analyze the data for emergent ideas. Six themes emerged from this study, which include role definition, professional relationships, job satisfaction, health impacts, impacts on teaching and learning, and leadership. These themes detail the challenges faced by teachers on a daily basis and the impacts these experiences have on teachers. The recent changes to the role and expectations of teachers is significant and not sustainable. School leadership and school culture play important roles in teacher experiences of compassion fatigue. Teachers are suffering from intense and frequent of the physical and mental health impacts. This study makes suggestions for ways in which leaders can develop practices and policies that create healthier, happier workplaces for teachers.

Book Synopsis Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue on Middle School Educators by : Janna M. Kilgore-Cameron
Download or read book Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue on Middle School Educators written by Janna M. Kilgore-Cameron and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators have been leaving the field of education at a high rate each year with no signs of slowing down. Tennessee, as well as many other states across the country, have started the school year with unfilled positions due to so many vacancies. Previous researchers found educators left due to an overwhelming workload paired with an escalation in student behaviors, a lack of administrative support, and increased stress dealing with secondary trauma and compassion fatigue. Educators shared they felt isolated as they have neglected their own mental and physical health. The purpose of this basic, interpretive qualitative study was to examine the roles and responsibilities of middle school educators, what their experiences have been with secondary trauma and compassion fatigue, as well as what educators understood secondary trauma and compassion fatigue to be, and what they may be doing about combating compassion fatigue in a school district in Tennessee, Oak Grove School District. I utilized the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) survey to obtain participants who scored a 23 or higher for compassion fatigue. I interviewed 17 full-time educators from 11 middle schools within Oak Grove School District to understand their views concerning secondary trauma and compassion fatigue. The educators shared they had ever-changing roles and responsibilities taking an emotional toll on them. Educators also felt they were underprepared to address the many needs their students brought with them daily into the school building while also sacrificing a healthy work-life balance. Educators also shared, OGSD did not have clear expectations with all educators within their district which led to a hierarchical disconnect from administration and district-level leaders.
Book Synopsis Theorising Special Education by : Catherine Clark
Download or read book Theorising Special Education written by Catherine Clark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of special needs education is well established, and although it continues to develop in exciting and controversial ways, involving some of education's leading thinkers, many people feel it is lacking a coherent theoretical analysis of its own. Students and practitioners, looking for some solid theory to reinforce their own study or practice, commonly have to 'borrow' from other disciplines, such as psychology and sociology, since there has been no attempt to provide a theoretical foundation for the special needs community. This book does exactly that, bringing together contributions from key names in the field from UK and beyond. The book will establish itself as an essential text for students and teachers, as well as all those involved in special needs across the social sciences.
Download or read book Demoralized written by Doris A. Santoro and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demoralized: Why Teachers Leave the Profession They Love and How They Can Stay offers a timely analysis of professional dissatisfaction that challenges the common explanation of burnout. Featuring the voices of educators, the book offers concrete lessons for practitioners, school leaders, and policy makers on how to think more strategically to retain experienced teachers and make a difference in the lives of students. Based on ten years of research and interviews with practitioners across the United States, the book theorizes the existence of a “moral center” that can be pivotal in guiding teacher actions and expectations on the job. Education philosopher Doris Santoro argues that demoralization offers a more precise diagnosis that is born out of ongoing value conflicts with pedagogical policies, reform mandates, and school practices. Demoralized reveals that this condition is reversible when educators are able to tap into authentic professional communities and shows that individuals can help themselves. Detailed stories from veteran educators are included to illustrate the variety of contexts in which demoralization can occur. Based on these insights, Santoro offers an array of recommendations and promising strategies for how school leaders, union leaders, teacher groups, and individual practitioners can enact and support “re-moralization” by working to change the conditions leading to demoralization.
Book Synopsis Exploring Teacher Well-being Through Compassion by : Amanda Tatum
Download or read book Exploring Teacher Well-being Through Compassion written by Amanda Tatum and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed methods case study examined teachers' levels of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue, or the combination of Burnout and Secondary Traumatic Stress, and strove to understand how teachers experience these phenomena and what supports could be used to alleviate some of the harmful symptoms of Compassion Fatigue. For this study, I used a Healing Centered Approach and the Compassion Fatigue Theoretical Model to develop a plan to help elevate teacher voice in order to help teachers maintain their well-being and center their humanity. This study also involved two phases that were unsuccessful, and the lessons learned from why they were unsuccessful were added to the findings. I reviewed previous literature around Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction, though most of the work centered around caregivers in the medical profession, workplace well-being, school well-being, and context specific efforts in the District of Columbia Public Schools system that involved teacher and staff well-being. Though the originally intended intervention did not happen, the final research design produced findings around the importance of qualitative research in understanding well-being and Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction, suggestions for schools and districts to support teacher well-being, and the effect the pandemic has had, directly on teachers and indirectly through the pandemic's effects on their students.
