School districts today face increasing calls for accountability
during a time when budgets are stretched and students' needs have
become increasingly complex. The teacher's responsibility is to
educate younger people, but now more than ever, teachers face
demands on a variety of fronts. In addition to teaching academic
content, schools are responsible for students' performance on
state-wide tests. They are also asked to play an increasingly
larger role in children's well-being, including their nutritional
needs and social and emotional welfare. Teachers have shown
themselves to be more than capable of taking up such challenges,
but what price is paid for the increasing demands we are placing on
our schools? Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of
Accountability is about the nature of teachers stress and the
resources they can employ to cope with it. Accountability is a
two-way street and the authors in this volume suggest remedies for
reducing teacher stress and in all likelihood increasing student
learning-greater administrative support, more and better
instructional materials, specialized resources targeted at
demanding children, parental support, and professional recognition.
Readers will discover that lack of funding, low pay, concerns about
academic performance and student misbehavior, and increased public
and governmental scrutiny are not exclusive to the United States.
In this volume, the third in a series on Research on Stress and
Coping in Education, authors from Australia, Turkey, Malaysia, and
the Netherlands sound the same alarms, post the same warnings, and
draw similarly disturbing conclusions.
