In the mid-80s, Milstein & Golaszewski (1985) lamented about teacher stress, 'The end result is that many talented men and women with high expectations of achievement are dispirited and disillusioned. Some leave the profession, others stay but are plagued by a multitude of physical, emotional and behavioral stress-related manifestations'. Since then there have been numerous studies exploring this important phenomenon, culminating in this special BJEP symposium. All the studies, in one way or another, illustrate the problems and opportunities of research in the area of teacher stress. One issue that stands out when we explore all these, and many other studies on this topic, is the wide variety of diverse measures used to assess either job stressors or strain manifestations (e.g. the Occupational Stress Inventory, Maslach's Burnout Inventory, Tellenback's General Strain Index, etc.). The list of measures that have been used or could be used is interminable. What is needed is a teacher-specific measure, such as the one suggested by Hart, Wearing & Conn and Boyle, Borg, Falzon & Baglioni, but one that is comprehensive enough to incorporate job, organizational, personality predisposition and strain scales, such as the Occupational Stress Indicator which is used in industry for white collar and managerial employees (Cooper, Sloan & Williams, 1988).
