Book Description
A questionnaire-based research was conducted to examine the relationship between both forms of teacher burnout (psychological and physical) with the following factors: (a) job-induced stress, (b) school climate and (c) teaching experience. The questionnaire was adopted from Hock (1988) and Riehl and Sipple (1996). The sample was composed of 48 elementary English teachers of private schools in Beirut. The results showed that only the school climate was positively related with both forms of burnout. Moreover, it was found that buffers (i.e. parental support, paperwork and being provided with the necessary teaching materials) were significantly related with teachers' physical burnout. While the order of students (i.e. students' attitude toward school work and their behavior in classroom) and administrative support were significantly correlated with teachers' psychological burnout. Salary was also found to be the highest stress-inducing factor among the other job-stressors, for most of the ...

Book Description
This booklet presents articles that deal with identifying signs of stress and methods of reducing work-related stressors. An introductory article gives a summary of the causes, consequences, and cures of teacher stress and burnout. In articles on recognizing signs of stress, "Type A" and "Type B" personalities are examined, with implications for stressful behavior related to each type, and a case history of a teacher who was beaten by a student is given. Methods of overcoming job-related stress are suggested in eight articles: (1) "How Some Teachers Avoid Burnout"; (2) "The Nibble Method of Overcoming Stress"; (3) "Twenty Ways I Save Time"; (4) "How To Bring Forth The Relaxation Response"; (5) "How To Draw Vitality From Stress"; (6) "Six Steps to a Positive Addiction"; (7)"Positive Denial: The Case For Not Facing Reality"; and (8) "Conquering Common Stressors". A workshop guide is offered for reducing and preventing teacher burnout by establishing support groups, reducing stressors, changing perceptions of stressors, and improving coping abilities. Workshop roles of initiator, facilitator, and members are discussed. An annotated bibliography of twelve books about stress is included. (FG)

Book Description
This book brings together the most current thinking and research on educator stress and how education systems can support quality teachers and quality education. It adopts an occupational health perspective to examine the problem of educator stress and presents theory-driven intervention strategies to reduce stress load and support educator resilience and healthy school organizations. The book provides an international perspective on key challenges facing educators such as teacher stress, teacher retention, training effective teachers, teacher accountability, cyber-bullying in schools, and developing healthy school systems. Divided into four parts, the book starts out by introducing and defining the problem of educator stress internationally and examining educator stress in the context of school, education system, and education policy factors. Part I includes chapters on educator mental health and well-being, stress-related biological vulnerabilities, the relation of stress to teaching self-efficacy, turnover in charter schools, and the role of culture in educator stress. Part II reviews the main conceptual models that explain educator stress while applying an occupational health framework to education contexts which stresses the role of organizational factors, including work organization and work practices. It ends with a proposal of a dynamic integrative theory of educator stress, which highlights the changing nature of educator stress with time and context. Part III starts with the definition of what constitute healthy school organizations as a backdrop to the following chapters which review the application of occupational health psychology theories and intervention approaches to reducing educator stress, promoting teacher resources and developing healthy school systems. Chapters include interventions at the individual, individual-organizational interface and organizational levels. Part III ends with a chapter addressing cyber-bullying, a new challenge affecting schools and teachers. Part IV discusses the implications for research, practice and policy in education, including teacher training and development. In addition, it presents a review of methodological issues facing researchers on educator stress and identifies future trends for research on this topic, including the use of ecological momentary assessment in educator stress research. The editors’ concluding comments reflect upon the application of an occupational health perspective to advance research, practice and policy directed at reducing stress in educators, and promoting teacher and school well-being.

Book Description
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 Description
Teacher stress and burnout were identified in the 1970s and 1980s as a phenomenon associated with the culture and climate of the classroom and school. Stress and burnout affects more than an individual's well-being. It has the potential to influence an undesirable classroom environment. The purpose of this mixed methods study is to comprehend the current emotional well-being of middle career educators. This study may be of value to organizations to gain intimate knowledge of this population. In this study the researcher administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Educators Survey (MBI-ES) and the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) to 50 middle career K-12 teachers. From the fifty participants, fifteen (five elementary, five middle and five high school teachers) were also interviewed and asked six open-ended interview questions. This study found that stress and burnout affect the emotional and physical well-being of middle career educators in their current educational environment and identified the issues that contribute to the feelings of stress and burnout. Additionally, the study discussed how stress and burnout manifest in teacher attitudes, dispositions and behaviors. Despite the causes and impact of stress and burnout among this population, it revealed that teachers in years 10-20 years of the career are still motivated and inspired by students to remain in the classroom and profession. This knowledge can establish a path towards solutions to improve professional well-being along with the classroom and school climate. Students are best served by policies that are related to keeping the most effective teachers in the classroom.
