The Special Educator and Job Stress
Author: Charles V. L. DedrickPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
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 Description
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.).
