Podcasts about teacher stress

The author of "Teaching With The Heart in Mind,"  Dr. Lorea Martínez, who was a special education teacher and school administrator and worked with children and adults internationally, provides reinforcement for the value of purposefully planning for embedding SEL skills in the classroom, beyond teaching the SEL curriculum. She guides educators to provide the necessary resources and structures to support teachers' social and emotional capacity; and go beyond the SEL curriculum to include the conditions that make learning and growth possible for all students.

Teacher Stress and Burnout: Causes and Coping StrategiesIf you're a classroom educator, you know firsthand how challenging and demanding your job can be. Between juggling lesson planning, student assessments, grading, parent communications, administrative duties, and extracurricular demands, it's unsurprising that teacher burnout is a prevalent issue in today's education system. Consider this: in a recent survey conducted by the National Education Association, more than half of members said they were planning to retire or leave teaching sooner than planned. Stress and burnout are key factors driving an exodus from the profession and contributing to an ongoing and global teacher shortage (and a global pandemic only made these issues more acute). In this episode, we'll be discussing some of the causes of burnout and the signs and symptoms that teachers might experience as a result of workplace stress. We'll also be diving into a variety of strategies that can be used to combat burnout, cultivate resilience, and prioritize your mental health.A key takeaway from our conversation is the importance of your relationships with colleagues and trusted administrators in reducing teacher stress and burnout. Building relationships and getting involved (to the extent possible) in leadership positions within your school or district might be one way to make a big difference. Your voice is crucial! By becoming an advocate for change and having a say in important decisions, educators can begin to shift attitudes that lead to a culture of stress and burnout.From mindfulness and self-care practices to boundary-setting and time-management strategies, we'll be sharing a wide range of tools and techniques that can help educators to reduce stress and cultivate a more sustainable work-life balance. Whether you're a seasoned educator or an aspiring teacher just starting out, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that can help you to minimize the risk and effects of burnout in your own career.

The Nation's 2022 Report Card reveals that 4th and 8th graders in all but one state [in the US] experienced regression in performance on test scores for reading and math. These results have been attributed to a decline in social skills, which in- turn impacted academic performance, and test scores. Middle school teacher Mrs. P. Leonard, and Elementary teacher Mrs. R. St.Louis-Williams share their methods for improving social skills and preparing students for learning.

Teaching was a stressful occupation long before the (COVID-19) pandemic occurred; during the pandemic, it might have become even more stressful. Teachers are navigating unfamiliar technology, are balancing multiple modes of teaching, and have concerns about returning to in-person instruction. In addition, many teachers are caring for their own children while teaching. As a result, teachers' levels of stress and burnout have been high throughout these times.

In this episode, Franchesca interviews educational psychologist, Dr. Tish Jennings as she presents a matrix of stress-causing factors that lead to burnout, and shows how teachers can tackle the sources of stress at each pressure point. From the development of social and emotional competencies—so important to teachers and students alike—to the achievement of systemic change through collective efficacy, she offers hope and practical remedies for overcoming a toxic trend in education. Dr. Jennings is an internationally recognized leader in the fields of social and emotional learning and mindfulness in education and a Professor of Education at the School of Education and Human Development at the University of Virginia. Her research places a specific emphasis on teacher stress and how it impacts the social and emotional context of the classroom, as articulated in her highly cited theoretical article "The Prosocial Classroom." Jennings led the team that developed CARE, a mindfulness-based professional development program shown to significantly improve teacher well-being, classroom interactions, and student engagement in the largest randomized controlled trial of a mindfulness-based intervention designed specifically to address teacher occupational stress. She was awarded the Cathy Kerr Award for Courageous and Compassionate Science by the Mind & Life Institute in 2018 and recently recognized by Mindful Magazine as one of the "Ten Mindfulness Researchers You Should Know." Earlier in her career, Jennings spent more than 22 years as a teacher, school director, and teacher educator. She is the author of numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters and several books: Mindfulness for Teachers: Simple Skills for Peace and Productivity in the Classroom, The Trauma-Sensitive School: Building Resilience with Compassionate Teaching, Mindfulness in the Pre-K-5 Classroom: Helping Students Stress Less and Learn More, part of Social and Emotional Learning Solutions, a book series by WW Norton of which she is the editor. Her latest book, Teacher Burnout Turnaround: Strategies for Empowered Teachers, is forthcoming next week. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teacher-self-care/support

Anxiety relating to COVID-19, teaching, and parental communication were among the most significant predictors of teacher stress and burnout this fall, according to new research by Christopher Newport University's Timothy Pressley. In one of the first studies of its kind, Pressley surveyed hundreds of teachers in 17 states to gauge their perceptions and anxiety levels in the wake of the pandemic. He joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss what he learned, and some implications for districts, school leaders, educators and other stakeholders as schools begin to reopen across the country.

Despite extensive training and career preparation, roughly a quarter of all new teachers will leave their position after only a year. A significant contributor, according to researchers, is teacher stress. In a new article in Phi Delta Kappan Magazine, University of Texas at Austin researcher Christopher J. McCarthy details more than a decade of research into teacher stress, including the interplay between school resources, demands, coping resources, and job satisfaction. McCarthy joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss his findings, his new Kappan article, and some key takeaways for those hoping to reduce or prevent teacher stress in their own schools.

This episode is also available on YouTube.Our special guest today is Adam Avin, the founder of Wuf Shanti[1], a company that promotes health, wellness, and happiness in children, and encourages peace and positivity. Wuf Shanti was created by a kid for other kids, and started when Adam was younger, with his illustrations, voice and his dream to make a difference in the world. He shares his character, Wuf Shanti, with children across the planet, in the hopes of guiding them down a path of peace and positivity with his programs. His Wuf Shanti videos are in hospitals around the globe, helping children smile while they heal from their cancer treatments and in 25,000 schools across the country. I first met Adam this past Spring when he was hosting the Mindful Kids Peace Summit[2] (a five-day summit that I was a part of) that brought awareness to the need for immediate change in our schools today. It was incredible for me to see his knowledge and enthusiasm for social emotional learning (he understands the competencies just as well as the experts he interviewed) and his experience with mindfulness and meditation as he interviewed over 70 experts!Welcome Adam! It’s wonderful to speak with you. Q1: For those who have not yet seen your TEDTALK[3] where you explain this in detail, can you give us some background on your company, what exactly Wuf Shanti does, and the reason why did you started this company? Q2: I mentioned in the intro that you were a host of the Mindful Kids Peace Summit this year and interviewed over 70 experts. I know to do this well, you need to research your expert in order to ask questions and be able to speak on the topic you are asking them about.  What did you learn from interviewing these experts, and hosting this summit?Q3: Watching your interview with the teacher from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS (Chelsea Briggs) was a part of the summit that I will never forget, since one of the main reasons I got involved with this work back in the late 90s was because of the Columbine tragedy (April 20, 1999). This is going back before you were born, I was working with a group of 12 teens who created a pin to honor the 13 lives lost in that tragedy. I kept the pin to remind me of why I am doing this work, and last year, I had the chance to meet Darryl Scott the father of Rachel Scott, the first teen shot that day, and he took a pin to remind him of the ripple effect that his daughter has had on the world. The Parkland shooting (not far from where you live) was 17 lives lost, the worst school shooting since Sandy Hook (20 children and 6 adults).  How did speaking with the students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland impact you and your work?ADAM: Mentioned that this event inspired him to work harder because the statistics[4] show the need is imminent for change. We agree as the research shows that “80% of children who struggle with mental health issues receive no treatment.”[5] Q4: We saw “student voice” emerge after the Parkland shooting and it remains a concept, I know schools are placing a focus on. How has Wuf Shanti helped you to bring “student voice” to the forefront? What do your friends think about your work? Have you helped any of your friends with success or coping strategies?Q5: On a lighter note, it was fun for me to watch your promoting the summit, especially when Maroon 5 noticed you on social media. How do you think bringing in a celebrity helped to spread the word and your goals for the summit?Q6: What’s your vision for Wuf Shanti? Where would you like to see your programs go?ADAM: His vision is to have mental health programs in all schools K-12 for students and educators. Educators need stress reduction techniques as well.[6] Q7: What final advice do you have for anyone listening to bring for mindfulness into their daily lives? (the tips you gave at the end of your TED TALK were perfect). Thank you for your time Adam. We think you are wise beyond your years and doing incredible work to make an impact spreading social and emotional learning and mindfulness around the country and world. For a 14-year-old, you’ve accomplished more than many adults. I hope you are proud of your hard work and know that you will keep going to do some incredible things. RESOURCES:https://wufshanti.com/resources/ https://wufshanti.com/resources/mindful-kids-peace-summit/https://wufshanti.com/sflpbs-wuf-shanti-schedule-2017-2018/https://wufshanti.com/resources/kids-association-mindfulness-education/https://wufshanti.com/giving-back/https://wufshanti.com/research/Stay Tuned for the second release of the Mindful Kids Peace Summit coming Sept. 23, 2019.https://wufshanti.com/resources/mindful-kids-peace-summit/RESOURCES:[1] www.wufshanti.com[2] https://www.mindfulkidspeacesummit.com[3] “Mindfulness in Education to Lower Stress and Violence” by Adam Avin, TEDxYouth@KC June 10, 2019. https://www.tedxkc.org/adam-avin-kcyouth/[4] Suicide is the second leading cause of death for ages 15-24 (Center for Disease Control) cdc.org[5] Dr. Daniel Amen (Thrive by 25 Online Course) https://www.brainmdhealth.com/brain-thrive[6] “Teacher Stress and Health” by Greenberg MT, Brown JL, and Abenavoli RM  (September 2016) https://www.rwjf.org/en/library/research/2016/07/teacher-stress-and-health.html
