Stress Management: For Teachers & Their Students

Stress is extremely powerful, and is everywhere--especially in the classroom! When teachers are feeling overwhelmed, they may not be the only ones paying the price. Students' stress levels are being elevated as a result of their teacher's exhaustion. The same can be true for when students are under stress--their behaviors can impact the classroom environment and ultimately their teacher’s performance. Student and teacher stresses can play off each other, and have negative consequences for both. This unit will allow you to explore the science behind why we experience stress, and will look at stress from both teacher and student perspectives.

Course Overview

Let’s start with something we can all agree on: stress stinks.

If it wasn’t already on your radar, the global COVID-19 pandemic has probably increased the level of stress in your life and your students' lives in many ways. As an educator, you feel responsible for teaching your students to the best of your ability - but how can you do that with the uncertainty and ever-changing landscape of education? Although acute (or short-term) stress exists in order to keep you safe from danger, chronic (or long-term) stress can be harmful for your physical, mental, and emotional health. Fatigue, high blood-pressure, and weight gain are just some of the symptoms of chronic stress and if left unchecked they can lead to chronic illnesses and premature death. 

By signing up for this online professional development course, you’ve already made an important first step in your journey towards managing your stress, as well as your students' stress, in a healthier way. Understanding that knowledge is power, we will teach you about what is happening in your brain that leads to excessive stress and give you cutting-edge techniques to get your mind back on the right track no matter what the situation is. Our team of teachers, scientists, and medical experts have created this Power PD unit with practical, neuroscience-based strategies to combat chronic stress both in the classroom (virtually or in-person) and at home, leading you towards a happier, healthier life.
