I am in the process of beginning a series of research projects that require measuring pre- and in-service teachers Math Anxiety levels, as well as their self-efficacy for teaching mathematics.
So far, i have not been successful in acquiring an actual measure for any of those constructs.
There are quite a few measures of math anxiety and of variations on math self-efficacy (confidence, etc.). Most, however, were designed with children in mind. Some target adolescents or college students. It occurs to me that it would be pretty easy to adapt one of the latter for people completing teacher training. I'm attaching copies of a few such measures, along with the basic references. (I do not have those articles, however; you'll need to obtain them elsewhere.)
There may not be a "self-efficacy for teaching math" scale; this could become a major piece of your project. But their confidence vs. anxiety about math in general should be pretty predictive. There also are teacher self-efficacy scales, though I don't know much of anything about them. For example:
Teacher efficacy: A construct validation.
