Make Teaching Stress Free


Teaching isn’t an easy job. It challenges you every day. Being a teacher you are expected to devote yourself to the students’ needs and it can get a little overwhelming at times. As the best ICSE school in Dehradun, we at The Heritage School, make sure that our teachers get enough opportunities to evolve and grow with time. 

Here are a few tips for teachers to reduce stress:

• Think of all the reasons why you love teaching in the first place.

• Do not take things personally. Students tend to test your patience at times. Do not lose your calm.

• Take accountability of your actions. If you have made someone upset, whether it is a fellow colleague or student, apologize and ask him what can you do to make things better. 

• Find some time for yourself and relax after the classes. Take a stroll or sit in silence during recess. While you are taking a break, do not think of all the tasks you have to complete by the end of the day. 

• Make learning fun by incorporating games and activities that help you and the students detach from all the stress. Share laughter with your students and find happiness in small things.

• During holidays make sure to indulge in some “me time”. Make a plan to visit your favorite place with your friends and family. Join a yoga class or indulge in other activities.

• Make sure to exercise for at least 15-20 minutes in the morning. It will help you stay active for the whole day. 

• If you feel stressed or overwhelmed make sure to talk to somebody who shares the same interest, i.e., teaching. This will help you see things through the other person’s perspective.

While molding the students to become the best version of themselves, sometimes teachers neglect themselves and fall into the pit of stress. It is important for them to attend workshops that polish their skills and help them find contentment in whatever work they do. As one of the top 10 schools in Dehradun, at The Heritage School, we make sure that teachers remain happy and satisfied while teaching the students.
