CH Bonus: Stress and Teacher Support

| |

Teachers are stressed out now more than ever before. As teacher leaders, it is important that we know and understand the stressors our teachers face so that we can help with solutions. Listen in on this Clubhouse Chat as we discuss the stressors our teachers are facing and how we can help.

Stress and Teacher SupportQuotable

  • We need to give them (teachers) a voice especially right now with stress. They might feel like when we are giving them a solution it’s just one more thing because it may not fit there personality, style, or their day to day.
  • Maybe we need to rethink the whole process of the requirement of the lesson plan.
  • When we limit options, that immediately decreases stress. 
  • We have to move past traditional PD. It’s too much.
  • Many of our teachers are mourning traditional practices.
  • We are not going back to normal so we have to help guide teachers to find their new identity. 
  • Help teachers develop the mindset of turning this impossible situation into a possible opportunity.
  • Make time to visit classrooms… just to check in.
  • Teachers want us to listen but they also want us to see what’s happening.
  • The morale and the culture (of the school) helps us to retain teachers.
