Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on the relationship between teacher stress and burnout and the leadership styles of elementary school principals as perceived by elementary school teachers. The topic of stress is one that has been ongoing for hundreds of years but the teaching profession has seen an increase in this condition over the past four decades. Teacher stress and burnout is a condition that can impact teacher health, job retention, teaching performance, and beyond. Therefore, this topic is important as the findings could serve to help minimize this condition. It could also inform educational leaders about leadership styles and their relation to stress and burnout. Sosik and Godshalk's (2000) model of leadership style, mentoring functions received, and job related stress, was the theoretical framework that guided this study. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was used to analyze statistical data via the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educator's Survey (MBI) and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire - Form 5X - Rater Form (MLQ). The results of this study revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the leadership styles of elementary school principals and teacher stress and burnout, which aligned with the majority of the literature on this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative case study examined teacher perceptions within one rural, public East Tennessee school district of principal leadership styles based upon Kouzes and Posner's five domains: challenge the process, enable others to act, encourage the heart, inspire a shared vision, and model the way to determine if a dominate domain existed within teacher perception of the principal's leadership style. Principals who understand the effectiveness and impact that different leadership styles have upon the school environment, specifically teacher perceptions, generally identify with a particular style allowing the creation of a positive educational environment (Rowland, 2008). Teacher understanding of principals' leadership styles increased self-awareness and job satisfaction the teacher achieved. Effectively decreasing the chances of teacher burnout and job-related stress (Meador, 2016).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph explores three particular emphases: (1) stress occurs within an ecological system; (2) individuals need to be skilled self-managers in dealing with their stress ecology, and (3) teachers are the initial source and ultimate controller of their stress system. Integrated with these emphases are such topics as the ecology of teacher stress, teachers as sources of stress, stress as motivation for growth, symptoms and indicators of burnout, knowing stress management, and the role of professional growth in stress prevention/resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique study is the first large-scale sociological analysis of teacher burnout, linking it with alienation, commitment, and turnover in the educational profession. In the process of doing so, Anthony Gary Dworkin uncovers some startling trends that challenge previous assumptions held by public school administrators. Urban public school districts spend up to several million dollars annually on programs intended to rekindle enthusiasm among their teachers, hoping thereby to reduce the turnover rates. They also assume that enthusiastic teachers will heighten student achievement. Yet data presented in Teacher Burnout in the Public Schools challenge these suppositions. Dworkins research shows teacher entrapment, rather than teacher turnover, as the greater problem in education today. Teachers are now more likely to spend their entire working lifetime disliking their careers (and sometimes their students), rather than quitting their jobs, and Dworkin proposes that principals, more than any other school personnel, can do much to break the functional linkage between school-related stress and teacher burnout. The authors findings also indicate that burned-out teachers pose a minimal threat to the achievement of most children, but that they do have an adverse impact on brighter students. Teacher Burnout in the Public Schools includes an inventory of supported propositions and three levels of policy recommendations. These important policy recommendations suggest substantial organizational changes in the nature of the training of public school teachers in the college educational curriculum, in the teacher employment and deployment practices of school districts, as well as in the administrative style of school principals.

Book excerpt: The causes of teacher burnout are often systemic and best addressed with coordinated group support. So what tools do principals and other school leaders need to make a difference? In Illuminate the Way: The School Leader's Guide to Addressing and Preventing Teacher Burnout, veteran teacher and instructional coach Chase Mielke outlines the three dimensions of burnout—exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy—and provides the methods to help foster agency, relatedness, and competence in your staff. School leaders have a responsibility to develop the skills, the strategies, and a school culture that emphasize resilience. Decades of psychological and organizational research have shown that we must eradicate the causes of helplessness, which leads to ineffectiveness, and instead promote the conditions of well-being and engagement. The best path to an effective educator is an affective educator who has * A strong level of autonomy and an internal locus of control. * High self-efficacy in diverse teaching contexts. * Resiliency skills for tackling individual and group challenges. * Awareness of when and how to regulate diverse emotions. * Intrinsic motivation to grow oneself, one's students, and one's team. * Positive relationships with students, their families, colleagues, and administration. Teacher burnout ripples out to the entire school system, and if we want to create thriving schools, we need to support thriving teachers. Help improve your teachers’ well-being and illuminate the way to a more resilient and engaged school.
Download or read book Examining the Influence of Principals Servant Leadership Practices on Teachers Perceived Stress in Elementary Schools written by Jennifer Ann Rankin and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress experienced by elementary teachers is common, and teachers often discover that stress reduces job satisfaction, performance, and overall well-being. A record number of teachers feel marginalized and leave the profession due to high levels of stress in schools. The current study employed a phenomenological research design and gathered qualitative data from 12 elementary teachers and three corresponding principals who are considered self-sacrificing servant leaders as a possible source of reducing their perceived stress through dyadic relationships. The four attributes of servant leadership conceptually outlined a deductive framework to include an administrator's ability to communicate servant leadership through expressions of humility, empathy, autonomy, and altruism which were categorized into broader themes. The current study organically identified the complex human experience of teacher stress to stimulate new dialogue holistically, produce rich descriptions of stress among teachers, and give rise to unheard voices. The results identified six themes of teacher stress. The themes identified include fatigue, anxiety, frustration, burnout, insecurity, and coping. Teachers interviewed in this study generated 234 significant statements, concluding seven themes relevant to reducing teachers' perceived stress. Servant leaders who convey a perception of reduced stress: prioritized time, were proactive, led by example, valued staff, were approachable, "had my back," and most significantly, did not micromanage were perceived to reduce the stress of subordinates. The strongest servant leadership attributes aligning with reducing the stress of teachers were those of altruism at 37% and empathy at 28%. Although significant, humility at 21% and autonomy at 15% were found to be less influential in reducing perceived stress, and autonomy was found to be a source of stress in some instances. The results may apply to the perspectives of elementary teachers; however, it can be implemented in any organization that applies high standards and seeks to improve the well-being of their subordinates. While servant leadership is not the only leadership style that can reduce stress, themes produced may give rise to a healthier, happier workforce.
