    Stress

    Management for
    Teachers
    Rose May Salonga, R.N. LPT
    What is stress?

    is a condition of feeling experienced


    when a person perceives that demands
    exceed the personal and social resources the
    individual is able to mobilize. People feel little
    stress when they have the time experience and
    resources to manage a situation. They feel
    greater stress when they think that they can not
    handle the demands put upon them.
    Stress is a normal part of every teacher's
    life. But left unmanaged, it can
    undermine effective teaching and
    learning. Luckily, there are ways to
    manage stress. Take a look at the
    following tips.
    Recognize the signs of stress.
    Monitor yourself for the following symptoms:
     You're not sleeping.
     You feel nervous all the time.
     You forget important things.
     You get sick a lot.
     You're always tired.
     You eat a lot more or less than usual.
     You no longer enjoy everyday activities.
     You think about leaving the teaching
    profession.
    If stress has taken over, it's time to take action.
    1. Identify your key stressors.
    The first step in handling stress is to identify its key sources.
    These may be:

    Behavioral (you're not getting enough sleep),


    Situational (lack of feedback from your supervisor), or
    Mental/Emotional (low self-esteem).
    Pay attention to your stress load over the
    next few days or weeks. Keep a stress
    journal in which you record your reactions
    to specific events. Review the results, look
    for patterns, and identify the key sources of
    stress in your life. Then develop a targeted
    plan to avoid or alleviate these stressors.
    2. Talk to colleagues
    Social isolation is a common cause of
    professional stress.
    Talk things over with your colleagues.
    How do they handle classroom issues?
    What stress management techniques
    work for them? Conversations can take
    place casually or be formalized as
    once-a-month stress management
    roundtables
    3.Take regular breaks
    throughout the school day.
    Many teachers go all day without a
    break. Don't fall into this trap! Use
    your breaks to step away from work
    and relax. Avoid shoptalk in the
    staff room, and take a walk around
    the block or listen to music to clear
    your head.
    4. Plan ahead to avoid feeling
    rushed.
    Too busy? Time management is an important
    component of stress management.
    • Take a few minutes each night to organize
    for the next day.
    • Develop a weekly schedule with time for
    teaching, grading, meetings, and other
    obligations.
    • Consider setting your alarm 15 minutes
    earlier to start each morning with quiet
    reflection.
    5. Practice daily stress management skills
    Small steps can add up to a practical and
    effective stress-management plan.
     Eat well.
     Exercise.
     Get plenty of rest.
     Reduce caffeine consumption.
     Practice relaxation techniques such as yoga
    or meditation.
     Keep a sense of humor!
     Enjoy a favorite activity on a regular basis.
    6. Try "reframing" difficult situations.
    Reframing is an exercise in which you view
    problems as opportunities, focusing on the
    positive rather than the negative. Example:
    "Boy, I really blew it on that lesson plan. The
    kids didn't get it at all." Reframing: "Now I
    know to avoid that particular learning
    strategy."
    Think of stressful situations at work. How can
    you reframe these issues in a more positive
    light?
    7. Take it one day at a time
    You may feel extra stress during
    exams or when final grades are
    due. Use the tips provided here to
    help you get through these difficult
    periods.
    Plan a reward for yourself when the
    crunch is over, like a massage or
    dinner out.
    8. Always be positive and happy
    End
