Self-Management for Teachers
Teachers face stressors from many sources. Too much work and not enough
time. Attending to their students’ needs. Dealing with parents. Pressure to
meet academic standards. The list goes on.
Most teachers have the sense to keep their cool and do what they can to get
through the day while staying professional. There are times when that is
difficult. Sometimes we feel on the verge of totally losing it. But there are
strategies teachers can use to manage stress, triggers, time and feel more in
control in the classroom. (By Peyton, 2021)
1.1. Critically analyse and discuss the possible coping strategies for
handling stress. (10 marks)
• Keep a positive attitude – sometimes the way you think about things can
make all of the difference. Your attitude can help offset difficult situations.
• Accept that there are events you cannot control – when you know there are
times when you have given all that you can to a situation, it allows you to
expend energy where it can be more effective.
• Learn to relax – purposeful relaxation, such as deep breathing, muscle
relaxation and meditation is essential in training your body to relax. Relaxation
should be a part of your daily regimen.
• Be active regularly – being active also helps your body more easily fight
stress because it is fit.
• Eat well-balanced meals – staying on track with healthy eating habits is a
great way to manage stress.
• Rest and sleep - your body needs time to recover from stressful events, so
sleep is an important part of caring for yourself.
• Find your stressors and effective ways to cope with them - remember that you
can learn to control stress because stress comes from how you respond to
stressful events.
• Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including
those on social media. It’s good to be informed but hearing about the
traumatic event constantly can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a
couple of times a day and disconnecting from phone, tv, and computer
screens for a while.
