Borut Razbornik Stress Management for Teachers
Teachers are stressed because of their many responsibilities, and they often have to deal with challenging students, disruptive classrooms, and high stakes assessments. Additionally, teachers feel pressure to prepare students for college and careers and often feel overwhelmed.
Burnout is a state of emotional and physical exhaustion caused by excessive stress, and it can lead to depression, anxiety, and other health problems. Burnout is often caused by the challenges teaching professionals face, like working long hours, having too many responsibilities, and not having enough control over their work.
Most teachers think of burnout as a just state of being overworked, but it is a syndrome that has three components:
1. Exhaustion – feeling tired all the time, not having any energy, and feeling like you can’t keep going
2. Cynicism – a negative outlook on work, feeling like it’s not worth it, and feeling that your efforts are futile
3. Incompetence – feeling like you’re not good at your job and that you can’t do anything right
Stress management is the natural solution to burnout and managing stress, which this seminar aims to teach and promote. Stress and anxiety might have a detrimental impact on learning. Participants will learn how to help reduce and manage their stress, therefore increasing the quality of learning for their students. The course will, as a result, offer a hands-on approach to the most effective relaxation techniques that teachers may employ in and outside of the classroom.
