Causes of Stress Among Teachers

It is interesting to note that many people believe the stereotype that teaching is a stress free job. They get the summers and weekends off, as well as a shortened workday, and typically is a job that people only do because they cannot do anything else. The old adage that people teach who cannot do is widely believed. However, the reality is that there is a high degree of stress associated with being an educator. There have been various research studies that indeed

Stress is a main aspect of the human condition, because everyone goes through a daily amount of stress, whether the problems come from school, family, even physical activities. The first time I felt a load of stress was earlier this year in fact, on a Thursday in September. I had many assignments due that day, and had a football game for band later as well. There was a reading check for “WHAP”, and the second I had seen the vocab and multiple choice questions my stomach started churning. There was sweat running down my face.... The notes I had took were horrendous, the thought of my French IP Practices the next period did not help either. Even though the day had finished and I did not have to stress over school anymore,

Stress is a state of mental or emotional force or pressure resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances. Anyhow, in this review, we will be focusing on how we make use of it. Stress has so many effects such as nervousness, Headache, insomnia, and more. Lots of people believe that it is uncontrollable. Therefore, they give up and let it control them. However, studies showed that there are two types of stress effects. Distress, which is the negative adverse influences. Also, Eustress, which is the positive effect that motivates us to accomplish something. Therefore, in this review, we will demonstrate what stress is, the differences between distress and eustress, and how to make it an asset.

Parental involvement in education is a vital essential for creating a cooperative environment for the student to thrive and succeed in. When a student knows that he or she is receiving support both inside and outside the school, the chances of that child becoming responsible for and active in their education are more likely. I know that there can be difficulties including parents for many reasons. Such parents may be too busy, uninterested or just feel helpless. However, as an educator, I will still have an obligation to reach out to these parents and assist them.

      Stress is an ongoing dilemma that occurs in each and everyone’s life. It is a factor that is undoubtedly a part of daily living. Due to the trivial problems that occur in people’s daily lives massive amounts of stress can arise. People perceive and manage stress in many different ways. The causes and effects of stress are numerous and one’s ability to manage stress is vital in maintaining healthy living.

Merriam-Webster defines stress as “a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation” (Stress, 2015). Many people think of stress as being overworked or overwhelmed, but stress can be caused by all facets of everyday life. Through the evaluation of my stress self-assessment and the course readings, it has become abundantly evident that stress impacts the body, is affected by motivation and emotions, and by understanding the psychology of stress it makes everyday stress significantly easier to manage.

This article reports on how classroom management and stress training effected 97 German teachers in the student-teaching phase of their training. Participants were recruited through university teaching seminars, assigned to one of three groups to examine the effects of the classroom management training to general stress management training to no training at all from 10 to 12 months

The importance of teacher’s wellbeing and their impact in the classroom, shaping and molding of the young minds that parents send with confidence to school every day of the week. (NSW Department of Education and Communities, 2015) The stress levels in the teaching profession are amongst the highest of any occupation across many countries. (Stoeber J & Renner D, 2008) The pressure associated with high student expectations and their demands, knowing their content of work to engage a classroom audience, their high workload levels, vulnerability due to responsibility, involvement in over 1000 interactive communications per day with students and their continuous deadlines for paperwork and admin duties, all

Based on these findings from research done previously I feel that this study is important. Firstly, we need to understand what causes the stressors and how it affects the individual. For example, if you have an entire university with stressed students, not being productive, not performing well academically perhaps thinking of dropping out of university because of the overwhelming anxiety; it can be detrimental to the institution in terms of status and students in terms of individual realisation. Secondly, we soon have to formulate effective and efficient stress management guidelines as we

Another source of stress comes from the students themselves. The majority of students that teachers interact with will be respectful, polite and want to learn. However, there is always a class or a group of students in a class that will make the teacher dread that period of day (Olivier & Venter, 2003). As stated earlier, teaching conveys a great deal of stress that is generated from the classroom which are the internal factors, but there are also the external factors that can be a major cause of stress. In some schools there is the fear of violence, lack of input, and a feeling that no matter what the teacher does it really doesn’t matter because they don’t have any control Richards, 2012). Other possible external forces that could be the biggest causes of stress for teachers comes with major changes in the school during the summer months. There are times were the administrative staff feels there is a need for change. Some of the changes that could occur are looping, which means switching to a new grade level, or it could be that the organization of the school will have a new look.

Parents and teachers don’t need to work against each other but rather together. Both parent and teacher have the same goals, and pass rates for learners, that’s why teachers and parents has to work together in the teaching. The teacher’s task of teaching at school is to teach them their work and to prepare them for their test and exams. Parents must check a learner’s progress at home and they need to check the learners schedule for study times and to check that that their task and homework gets done, most of all they need to support their children. Learner’s self-discipline begins at home where there is love and respect for each other. Parents who gives attention to their children is mostly the parents that is on the school board etc. these parents is important because they help with new parent teacher

Stress and anxiety in the realm of teaching profession has a long history and many scholars devoted themselves to find out more about the nature of the problem, its effects and subsequently to offer some coping strategies to sooth the level of tension. However, English language teaching as one of the most populated discipline in the realm of teaching practicum seems to be ignored by most researchers and the issue of occupational stress is likely to be in its infancy in the field of EFL/ESL. To this end, the present study is designed to probe into the stress related subject matters among EFL/ESL teachers. More precisely, the researcher will try to examine the level of job related stress among English language teachers across Iranian and New Zealander contexts.

Stress is something that we all experience on a daily basic in many different forms. There are stressors in our jobs, in our relationships, in our interactions with the unknown-- really in every aspect of our lives. For some the stress is great and for others it’s far more manageable.

Stress as defined by many is a condition which every human being undergoes at different situations in their lives. With regard to the stress among the school teachers and faculty of colleges and specially faculty of professional colleges is increasing day by day and becoming alarming. In reference (1) in her study on occupational stress among employees from different careers found that doctors and teachers are highly stressed as

Education as the most vital domain of children’s life which molds their identity needs monitoring. So parental involvement has always been an inseparable part in educational development of children which studies have confirmed its influence on students’ achievement and academic success (Wright & Willis, 2004; Desimone, 1999; Domina, 2005). Behaviors of parents can have a profound influence on how children come to perceive their intellectual abilities and the value of learning and education (Eccles et al., 2006). In other words, if pupils are to maximize their potential from schooling they will need the full support of their
