“…It can affect the performance of school heads and their subordinates. Lagat's (2021) study revealed that differences in resilience may influence how a person responds to negative experiences. Also, job stress and emotional exhaustion are positively associated.…”

In the Philippines, the quick spread of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented surprise to the education system and has introduced challenges, especially in the education sector and the aspect of leadership in schools. The researcher conducted this study to shed light on the leadership practices of school heads and their administrative dispositions, as well as the readiness of schools. This study assessed the school heads' leadership practices, administrative disposition, and readiness of the thirty-five public secondary school heads of SAMARICA, Occidental Mindoro. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational research design and researcher-made questionnaire to assess and measure the independent and dependent variables under study. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment of Correlation. The findings of the study showed that the level of school heads' leadership practices in the new normal was often practiced. In addition, the level of administrative disposition of the school head was highly evident. On the other hand, the schools' readiness level for the new normal education was very much ready. The school heads' leadership practices and administrative disposition significantly predicted the readiness of the public secondary high schools in San Jose, Magsaysay, Rizal, and Calintaan (SAMARICA), Occidental Mindoro. The findings also showed that there is a significant relationship between the school heads' level of leadership practices and their level of administrative disposition. Thus, the schools should also prioritize the readiness of schools for the new normal education in terms of platform and support, governance, assessment, teachers, learners, and parents.

“…In the middle of the school year, when stress and burnout are high compared with the start of the year (von der Embse and Mankin 2021), COVID-19 lockdown measures were announced. The external influence of COVID-19 may be disproportionally stressful to more experienced teachers (Lagat 2021), as they tend to be older and thus more susceptible to the virus as well as facing additional challenges related to online teaching. Our finding reinforces that stress continues to be an issue for teachers, and attention to mitigating stress is needed at any stage of a teacher's career.…”

Aim This study examined the psychosocial (psychological distress, job-specific wellbeing, burnout) health of a large sample of teachers in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, specifically the association between psychosocial health, work-related factors, and lifestyle behaviours. Subject & methods An online survey collected lifestyle behaviours, work-related factors, and socio-demographics from primary and secondary school teachers in NSW from February to October 2021. Associations between work-related factors, lifestyle behaviours, and psychosocial health were modelled using logistic regression in R and adjusted for gender, age, and geographic location. Results In our sample (n = 1136), 75% were women and 28% of the sample worked in rural or remote areas. Women reported higher levels of psychological distress (51%), compared with men (42%), and over 30% of teachers reported high levels of burnout. Teachers who engaged in three or more positive health-related behaviours had lower odds of psychological distress and burnout as well as higher odds of job-specific wellbeing. Multiple work-related factors such as hours worked, teaching load, teaching experience, teacher type, and teacher role were associated with one or more aspects of psychosocial health after adjusting for socio-demographic variables. Conclusion More is needed to support the psychosocial health of teachers in NSW. Future lifestyle programs for this population should include psychosocial outcomes to further explore the relationship between teachers’ health-related behaviour and their psychosocial health.

“…Somatization often occurs when individuals attempt to suppress emotions to find relief from distressing experiences (Kirmayer, 1984). For instance, pandemic‐related studies have noted that teachers experience a myriad of stressors including, but not limited to, abrupt shift of the teaching mode, excessive administrative and teaching workload, uncertainties in employment, and financial strain (Beames et al, 2021; Lagat, 2021; Truzoli et al, 2021). As they are bound to continue their duty, they may likely suppress their distress brought about by these stressful events to effectively fulfill their work obligations.…”

Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7‐item Scale (GAD‐7) has been found to accurately assess the presence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in various populations. However, despite showing good psychometric properties in assessing GAD symptoms, there is a need to further validate GAD‐7 in milieu of the pandemic, considering that recent cross‐sectional studies have utilized this scale in understanding GAD prevalence and risk factors. The present study aimed to contextualize the GAD‐7 scale into the present condition through investigating its (1) factor structure, (2) measurement invariance, and (3) latent classes. This study utilized 1922 (63.4%) secondary and 1110 (36.6%) tertiary Filipino teachers. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the scale is best represented by two factors: cognitive–emotional experiences and somatic experiences. Moreover, the results revealed that while the two‐factor GAD model showed good measurement equivalence across teacher groups, measurement non‐invariance was observed in gender groups. Lastly, the latent class analysis yielded a three‐class solution best fitting to the data. It specifically grouped GAD symptom intensity as low, moderate, and severe anxiety groups. These findings provide evidence of the scale's validity, supporting the utilization of the GAD‐7 scale in assessing pandemic‐related generalized anxiety.
