Research question 1 is to find the relationship between stress level and teachers of various races. Thus, the type of statistical analysis used was the Spearman’s Rho correlation. This type of statistical analysis was used because we wanted to measure the relation between the two variables which are nominal and ordinal. The teachers stress level as the ordinal scale and the teachers of various races as the nominal scale. Research question 3 is to find which type of strategies can be used to overcome stress among teachers. Thus, Chi-Square test was used to analyse the data. We wanted to compare the observed and the expected values. Next, for second research question, the other descriptive measure was used to analyse the data of the sample which the skewness. In this type of statistical analysis, from the shape of the distribution or the degree of symmetry of the sample data, we were able to examine the stress level of teacher due to
It helps measure the correlation, if there is one, of the two variables. By giving participants a survey and letting them use self report, this gives information about what variables might cause stress. In this case, poor time management and organizational skill lead to stress. Each participant were given likert scales to answer each question. The scales were rated one through seven, with seven being often and one being never.

Korn-Bursztyn and Bursztyn (2002) indicated that teachers lacking a multicultural education are inadequately prepared for the reality of a multi-racial society and tend to have low expectations for minority children. Teacher educators must ask themselves to what degree their teacher preparation programs (a) promote increased cultural self-awareness, (b) develop a recognition and appreciation of diversity, (c) promote cultural competency, and (d) prepare teachers to work effectively with a diverse group of students and parents. Teacher education programs that promote multicultural education is a necessity. It simply is not a matter of preference, it is a necessary knowledge and skill.
Spanish is the most common language that English Language Learner (ELL) students speak or understand, and is quickly becoming an important language in the United States of America (US). (López & González-Barrera, (2013). Massachusetts is home to a large and growing population of Latino ELL students (Fry, & Gonzales, 2008, Rennie Center, 2007). These students come from diverse national, socioeconomic and linguistic backgrounds. Some may be highly educated, others may have had very limited or no formal education.
1. What are the primary issues in this scenario and what information is Principal Miller likely to need in order to demonstrate appreciation for and sensitivity to the diversity in the school community? The primary issues are the quality of instruction received by all students and Principal Miller’s lack of knowledge regarding the political, social, economic, and cultural context of the community. To gain a better understanding of the issues, Mr. Miller will need to collect and review data.
The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 18. Frequencies, cross tabulation, Pearson’s, chi-square test, ANOVA were used to analyze the data. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically
Briley Belling BME 430/Discussion Question #1 There are many ways a teacher must prepare for the role of working with a diverse group of students. As a future teacher I will most likely have a variety of children in my classroom that come from different social and cultural backgrounds, along with different linguistic backgrounds. I must come prepared to work with a diverse group of children. I have already taken several steps to prepare for such a role as a teacher, a facilitator, and a guide of a diverse group of children 's learning.
A teacher is no longer the source of learning, rather a facilitator of learning. As a teacher I should know my student and understand that all students possess diverse backgrounds, by knowing your students, I will be able to decide which teaching style and strategies are needed to maximize their learning. I strongly believe it is vital to encourage the integration of culture, ethnicity, and life experiences into personal and corporate learning. I believe it is important to develop and implement innovative strategies in teaching. I feel that student learning is enriched and confidence increased with the utilization of
The workplace had become a high stress environment in many organizations cutting across industries. Employees were experiencing high level of stress due to various factors
Organization: Topical pattern Audience analysis: My audience consists of one white older-aged woman, one younger-aged male and one older-aged male.

The sample population that can be used in this study will include students from the previous semester that were enrolled in the sections. To gather up the previous students, an email will be sent to all. The sample population will be chosen by using a system that chooses every fifth respondent. The email will simply ask each students’ earned grade in the course and the gender of their professor. This is done in order to determine the experimental and control groups.
) There are many different kinds of support given to workers in order to help them deal with stress. Here we will be looking at types of stress support given to employees as well as their stressors, by giving examples of these derived from the case study. Types of support given can include psychological support, cognitive support, employee assistance programs and physical support (Lehrer et al, 1994). Types of stressors that employees face are work overload, work-life balance, emotional and physical labor, job ambiguity and job demands (Danna & Griffin, 1999). Under psychological support there are various mediation and relaxation techniques that are used in order to help support employees suffering from stress.

Chapter I The Problem Introduction Every school has its own policies which stat the rules and regulations that they are implementing to control and manage the behaviors, attitudes, and activities of the students inside the school. This may enable them to become a responsible and discipline one. The administrators and teachers are responsible for monitoring and supervising the student 's behavior.
In quantitative research, variables are identified and defined, and then relevant data is collected from study participants. A strength of this type of research is that the data is in numeric form, making it easier to interpret. It also studies the relationship between independent and dependent variables and can address questions such as does a relationship between variables exist, what is the direction of the relationship, how strong is the relationship between the variables, and what is the nature of the relationship. To be able to discover and answer the cause-and-effect relationship is a strength of quantitative research. Lastly, in quantitative research, the study can either be experimental or nonexperimental, meaning clinical trial or observational study, allowing for different types of research studies to be conducted.
