Introduction

 

In 2007 there were 1.5 million U.S. students between the ages of 12 and 18 that were victims of non-fatal crimes in the school that involved bullying, theft, and classroom violence (Dinkes, Kemp, Baum & Snyder, 2009). Solomon and Downs (2006), reported that school violence not only affects teachers, staff, administrators, principals and school staff, but it impacts the entire school climate and learning environment. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (2008) approximately 225 teachers are threatened and an average of 15 teachers are attacked every five minutes.

There are approximately 400,000 violent crimes that take place on and off of school

grounds which involve teachers as well as students. Price and Everett (1997) indicated in their study that the growing violence in schools has teachers requiring new guidance, skills and training in order to deal with any violent encounters that take place in the classroom. The implications of school violence are receiving increased attention (Andreou, 2015).

Limbos and Castel (2008) conducted a study that associated school violence with teacher’s

health problems to include physical, emotional and psychological issues. Sommer, Leuschner

andScheithauer (2014), conducted a study on the different types of school shootings that

have occurred. In their results, they found social relationships at school, rejection by other

classmates, conflict with teachers, victimization and bullying contributed to school violence.

However, their study did not focus on teachers’ perception or functioning.

Problem

The problem that this study addresses is that, until now, research has conducted studies on school violence and the impact it has on students; however, studies have failed to link teacher perceptions of school violence with teachers’ job satisfaction and performance. Previous studies

that have been conducted, failed to show teachers being properly trained, prepared and developed to handle violence in the classroom. This has resulted in (a) teachers’ turnover rate, (b) retaining good teachers, and (c) the longevity of teachers in the classroom.
