I found that, overall, attempting such teaching added only modestly to their stresses. One notable exception was that they reported that managing classroom discourse utilizing student mathematical thinking in central ways was very demanding. I also found several new types of stresses not previously reported in the teacher stress research literature, some of which related to novices' attempts to enact elements of the NCTM (1991) Standards. Novices identified socially-oriented coping resources as the most effective in alleviating their teaching stresses. Relying on their own experiences and ideas was also important, particularly for those novices without formally organized social resources (such as a teacher learning community). The results suggest that novices attempting ambitious teaching do so because they have commitments that lead them to persevere in such teaching and are able to find resources to support them in those attempts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639083075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639083071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Gary Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486968393983,"sku":"9783639083071","price":73.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec3e1135-2b02-4a33-9318-4e4fbfe1f81b.jpg?v=1778057468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/novices-stress-and-coping-gary-lewis-9783639083071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
