All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
It has been suggested that public school teachers are exposed to highly stressful situations which are related to psychological and psychiatric problems. Unfortunately, there is no quantitative data suggesting which factors contribute to improving the mental health of American teachers, nor have there been any prior studies that have directly compared the factors associated with mental health disturbances between teachers and workers in other occupations in the United States. In light of this, I felt it crucial to find the factors associated with psychological/psychiatric problems in public school teachers in the United States using an appropriate reference professional group.

In 1936 there was considerable dissatisfaction with the rating scale being used in the supervision of student teaching at the Central Washington College of Education, and it was felt that a new scale was needed. Consequently, three faculty members, the primary supervisor, the supervisor of rural teaching, and the director of personnel and placement decided to make a detailed study and to construct a new rating scale. The Ellensburg scale, originally evolved for the rating of student teachers with emphasis on guiding their growth, should be equally helpful in the rating and guidance of teachers in service.

The need for accurate evaluation of teachers and teaching is strongly indicated by various current situations. Among these is the oversupply of trained teachers and of candidates for admittance to teacher-training institutions. What candidates shall be selected for training?

And, finally, what criteria may be applied to determine professional advancement, Adequate evaluation of the type mentioned would help us to the answers of these questions.

In the spring of 1938 the placement office of the Central Washington College of Education submitted a questionnaire to school superintendents in ninety communities in the state of Washington and asked their cooperation in filling it out.
