Teaching behavior management for your classroom requires practice. Teaching yourself how to handle YOUR behavior also requires practice. As a teacher, we have many things to do, attend students (which should be number one), teach the concept in an interesting way, work with mothers and fathers, and work with your co-workers.
Therefore, teaching can be one of the most stressful occupations. In many cases, the stress of a teacher ranks just as high as police officers.
Teaching is the only career that creates other careers. Teachers teach students to read, calculate, create, write, and form opinions. This is a huge job for the future of our society.
As a teacher, you must take care yourself. You are the foundation to our future. Looking after yourself in managing your stress is important to your performance in the classroom.
First, identify your stress. The blog "Have Fun Teaching" lists feelings associated with stress:
-Anxiousness
-Scared
-Frustrated
-Moody
These may be your thoughts if you are stressed:
-Low Self-Esteem
-Can not Concentrate
-Complaining about work
The behaviors you may show if you are stressed:
-Crying
-Increase of a frequent habit or addiction
-Loosing appetite or overeating
-Trouble sleeping
You can decrease these signs by:
1. Have positive thoughts. Think of what makes teaching fun for you and smile.
2. Exercise. Exercise helps release endorphins to help you manage your stress.
3. Eat healthier. Eating foods that provide you with energy for teaching will help you reduce stress symptoms.
4. Be appreciative. Be thankful that you are alive. The situation will only last for a moment. When the year is over, it will realize it is exceedingly small.
5. Do not offer to be a part of everything. Your main job is to teach. You cannot be in each organization and effectively plan for your class.
6. Take proper care of yourself. Educating is spiritual. You give of yourself emotionally every day. You have to renew your soul in order to provide your students the attention they need.
7. Meditate every day. Be grateful that you are in a profession that allows you to touch the world. Being grateful helps you redirect your energy to attract positive energy. Meditating helps you have a strong mental state which will help keep you calm when stressful events occur.
8. Do not complain. The etymology of complaining means to beating your chest; grief. Is that something you want every day you teach? To be in grief? To beat your chest? Do not complain. You will be depressed. Students do not need a depressed teacher.
9. Continue your favorite hobby. Hobbies allow you to replenish and refocus. Hobbies are fun. Having fun will help reduce stress.
The teacher's behavior management will reflect in your classroom behavior management.
