Why You Should Appreciate Academic Writing Resources
By Angelica Ribeiro, Ph.D.
Recently I found myself feeling grateful for a book that has been incredibly helpful for my research study. While it might not seem significant to express gratitude for a book, I learned from Kristen Mosley (2022) that we should appreciate the resources we have. Let me explain.
Mosley’s research has examined the relationship between teachers’ demands and the resources available to them to assess their risk for stress. She discovered that the demands placed on teachers, combined with the resources they have to meet those demands, can significantly affect their stress levels. When teachers face high demands with insufficient resources, they may experience burnout—manifesting as emotional exhaustion and a sense of low accomplishment—along with increased stress and diminished well-being. In contrast, having greater resources can enhance teacher well-being.
