Given the nested structure of our sample (teachers nested within teams), and the possible dependence between teachers within teams that may result, we computed, the intraclass correlations (ICC's).
In our sample, teachers who combined teaching with other jobs reported both lower exposure to challenges and more minimal related stress.
In a British population-based adolescent sample, teacher-reported externalising behaviour was associated with financial difficulties in adult life (after 40 years).
After schools are stratified and sampled, teachers within the schools are also stratified and sampled based on their characteristics (NCES n.d., "Sample selection").
The inclusion of only four teachers also limits the generalizability of this pilot study; specifically, future research should focus on a larger sample of teachers to gauge the ability of diverse teachers to implement the strategies effectively.
Based on an extensive survey of a small but nationally representative sample of teachers last year, the group suggests that teachers mostly have not yet overhauled reading instruction in a way that will herald change.
Second, the level of acceptance and receptivity among the teachers towards integrated STEM as a desirable goal was likely higher than that of a random sample of teachers teaching STEM subjects.
For instance, some included only secondary school teachers, one sample only primary teachers, one another only mathematics teachers.
It is based on a convenience sample where teachers selected the participating classes.
It included a convenience sample and teachers selected the participating classes.
