Article presenting research from several studies.
● First study presented by University of Groningen: teachers with
higher levels of stress at the beginning of the year led to less
affectivity in the classroom throughout the year than those with
lower levels.
● Second study presented by the University of Virginia:
classrooms with teachers who were stressed at the beginning of the
year and participated in “the Good Behavior Game” didn’t have
much effect from the teacher stress in the classroom; classrooms
with teachers that didn’t participate and were stressed at the
beginning of the year had significantly worse behavior management.
● Third study presented by the University of Texas: introduces
the teachers’ perception and depending how they perceive demands
vs. resources will affect their stress levels in the class. Higher
demands with less resources in classrooms led to higher teacher
stress while classrooms with either equal resources and demands or
more resources with lower demands led to lower stress levels for
teachers.
This article influences my topic on teacher stress by showing that there is a need for
helping teachers work on their stress and finding ways to help elevate where possible
(such as helping teachers learn to deal with stress or when possible making sure that
the supports are there to make sure that unneeded stress is not added). It helps also
helps to give several directions to lead it, one on how it affects the classroom
(behaviorally) and one on possible ways to help alleviate it a bit (such as giving
resources for teachers to use to help them and balancing out the resources/demands of
the classroom.
This articles relates to my study because it shows how stress affects the classroom and
how important it is to help with reducing teacher stress in the classroom.

Summary of essential
information:
● What teachers can do: teachers need grit, persistence, ability to
overcome obstacles, multiple support systems; protective factors for
stress: network of confidantes, mentors, friends, read, attend
workshops, take classes, be a lifelong learner, recognize triggers,
develop coping strategies; one technique: writing stressors down,
when they occur, write a solution and do it.
● How teachers help colleagues with stress: be a mentor (can
heighten the feeling of being valued); participate in a professional
learning community; have social events; be supportive of colleagues
and accept help with others reach out.
● Admin Support: build trusting relationships with teachers; knowing
what the teachers need; being open for them to come and talk.
This source has helped influence some of the questions for the interview process; with
questions such as what they believe teachers need in order to overcome stress, what
kind of networks do they have to help them overcome their stress other than basic
things such as exercise, etc.
This source has also helped with seeing more of a broader picture of other ways to
stress reduce other than just the typical things that you hear about typically with getting
enough sleep, exercising for so long, etc.
Adds to the interview questions and allows for a broader look into what kinds of things
teachers are doing to help with stress other than what is typically considered.

● Major stressors: unmotivated students; sustaining discipline in the
classroom, demanding workload, frequent changes, evaluation by
others, difficult/challenging relationships with colleagues and admin,
poor working conditions
● Study was done on a differential base of men vs. women with
women feeling more of the stress than men: women saw higher
levels due to workload; had more of behavioral changes/sought
social support and distanced themselves more
● Experienced teachers: experience more due to misbehavior and
educational policy stemming from loss of tolerance and burnout.
Value coping mechanisms that use behavioral change and emotional
control; believe working on self is more effective than trying to
change the cause.
● Study found those who worked in higher grades didn’t seek out as
much help as those in younger ones and seemed to be able to be
better prepared.
Gave more insight on thoughts about stress across the board, from elementary to high
school as well as from those who have been teaching a long time versus those who
haven’t been teaching as long. It also gives a chance to see how preschool teachers line
up alongside the other grade levels as well to see if the trend found there is continued
down line. The trend found was that the higher the grade level taught the less stress
that seemed to be felt as well as the longer a teacher was teaching the more the stress
was felt due to behaviors and educational policy changes.
The relevance comes from where stress is coming from as well as types of coping
mechanisms.

● “So for a lot of people, when they ask themselves, “How
long should I meditate?” They are really asking a different
question. It’s more like,“How little can I do and still get the
benefits?””
● you don’t get to decide how quickly you see the results. In
fact, you often don’t even get to know that you are having
any results at all
● We come from different cultures, and we have different
histories and personalities. So you never know how it’s
going work. You may get results right away, but it might
take days, weeks, or even months of regular practice.
● But in the process, the practice was working on me. Slowly
but surely, I was building a foundation. I was probably too
ambitious to see it at the time, but now at age 40, I can see
that every hour and minute counted. And it still does.
● If you are just starting out, I recommend you meditate for
anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes every day. You can start
with even less. Maybe try it for 1 minute in the morning.
And when you can sit still and relax for that long, move to 2
minutes. And then you keep increasing your time as you get
comfortable with the practice.
● The most important thing is to just start. The next most
important thing is to be consistent.
● Because we are all different, there isn’t a right amount of
time to meditate. But it’s also like learning any new skill or
practicing an instrument. The more time you invest in
practice, the more results you’re going to see
● So when it comes to the question of how much time you
should put in to get results? I don’t think you can go wrong.

● “We’re busy people, after all. With everything already on our plates, how
can we dedicate time to sitting down and writing each day?”
● “The first step is redefining what “journaling” is”
● “But really, journaling just means setting aside a little quiet, undistracted
time to sit down and think about your life. It can be just by writing down a
record of what you did that day; by venting about one thing that you can’t
get off your mind; by noting something that inspired you. Some days it may
be pages and pages, and some it may only be a few words. Just as long as
you’re actually taking a moment to stop and think about how things are
