It's no surprise that our teachers today are STRESSED.
Teachers cite a variety of challenges - from overwhelming amounts of work, unsupportive admin, challenging behaviors, and competing priorities... they just can't seem to find the time or ENERGY to get it ALL done.
A recent study found that only 7% of the surveyed teachers rated themselves as having both low levels of stress and high levels of coping with their jobs. So, about 93% of teachers are STRUGGLING. And not only that but studies show that teacher's workplace stress and state of mental health are worse now than in 2015.
Sixty-one percent of the teachers said their work was always or often stressful. Over half agreed that they didn’t feel the same enthusiasm as when they started teaching. And many teachers reported experiencing poor health and being bullied at work — by superiors, colleagues, students, or parents — at rates far higher than are reported for other professions. And most said they are sleep-deprived.
When teachers quit due to stress, it costs billions to replace them.
Let's look at 5 reasons is CRITICAL to manage stress.
1. Contributes to 80-90% of all illness & disease (high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes, headaches, an upset stomach, high blood pressure, chest pain,)
2. Can cause SLEEP issues
3. Often shows up as Physical Pain
4. It weighs us down - Stress is a heavy burden
5. #1 Reason so many teachers are leaving the profession every single year
Finding effective ways to manage STRESS is critical for teachers who are interested in optimizing their health & performance and STAYING in the classroom.
