The Teacher Resilience Instrument was then tested in a field via survey research method. The sample of the current study consists of 380 secondary school teachers in Bauchi State, Nigeria, through cluster sampling and systematic sampling method. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to test the hypothesized model with four dimensions of teacher resilience.
