Teaching is one of the most meaningful jobs there is. It shouldn't cost you your wellbeing.
Australian research shows that around nine in ten teachers experience moderate to extremely severe stress, and most describe their workload as unmanageable. Yet teachers also find their work deeply meaningful. This practical, compassionate ebook helps you protect that sense of purpose while looking after yourself.
Managing Stress and Avoiding Burnout draws on current research and the solution-focused approach. Instead of dwelling only on what's wrong, you'll learn to notice what is already working and take small, realistic steps forward.
Inside the ebook you will learn how to:
- recognise the early signs of stress and burnout in your body, emotions and thinking
- build resilience through relationships, healthy habits and a growth mindset
- use scaling questions, exceptions and kind self-talk to reframe challenges
- manage time, workload, boundaries and difficult conversations with parents and colleagues
- create a calmer classroom and a more supportive school culture
- seek support and advocate for your wellbeing
Each chapter includes key points, illustrative stories and quick "try this" activities you can use tomorrow, often in under five minutes.
