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.

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)

Download or read book A Comparison of the Occupational Stress Among Taiwanese Special Education Teachers in Three Different Educational Settings written by Yung-Chang Li and published by . 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.
