Teaching is a stressful profession, and many teachers experience periods of stress, fatigue, and burnout. While many of the psychosocial stressors and challenges teachers cope with are located in the work environment and the akonga/students they work with – there is much teachers can do that can make a positive difference to their own mental health and wellbeing.
In the webinar Chris will share some strategies for managing stress (e.g., developing awareness, focusing/prioritizing, positive reframing, thought-stopping, using psychological flexibility, emotion regulation, adaptive coping) and improving self-care (through TLCs, refuelling, resolve, relaxing) so that teachers can be more sustainable in their practice.
