Teacher Stress and Coping Strategies: A National Snapshot
Richards, Jan
Educational Forum, v76 n3 p299-316 2012
This national survey of 1,201 kindergarten through Grade-12-U.S. teachers focused on three related areas: (1) sources of teacher stress, (2) manifestations of stress, and (3) suggested coping strategies. The survey instrument was adapted from the Teacher Stress Inventory and the Coping Scale for Adults. Results indicated that teachers nationwide are highly stressed, with California teachers at the top of the list. Differences in reported stress by socioeconomic class and suggested coping strategies are also discussed. (Contains 9 tables.)
