The research surrounding teacher resilience is an emerging field, and the cultivation of instruments that measure teacher resilience should be bolstered. Specifically, there is a need for the creation of an instrument to be used in the United States. To address this need, I piloted the Multidimensional Teachers’ Resilience Scale (Mansfield & Wosnitza, 2015; Peixoto et al., 2020) in the US. The Multidimensional Teachers’ Resilience Scale (MTRS) comprises 29 items on four dimensions of resilience (professional, motivational, social, and emotional). The MTRS shows decent reliability and validity, but also demonstrates a need for a stronger instrument to be developed. As such, this study will serve as the foundation for further research the creation of a resilience scale for use in the United States.
