Teaching behavior management for your classroom requires practice. Teaching yourself how to manage YOUR behavior also requires practice. As a teacher, we have many things to do, attend to students (which should be number one), teach the concept in an engaging way, work with parents and community members and work with our colleagues.
Teaching can be one of the most stressful careers. In many situations, the stress of teachers rank just as high as law enforcement.
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 of yourself. You are the foundation to our future. Taking care of your behavior management in managing your stress is essential to your performance in the classroom.
First, recognize your stress. The weblog "Have Fun Teaching" details emotions 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
These are actions you may display if you are stressed:
-Crying
-Increase of a normal habit or addiction
-Loosing hunger or overeating
-Trouble sleeping
You can reduce these symptoms 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 healthy. Eating foods that will give you energy for teaching will help you reduce stress symptoms.
4. Be grateful. Be pleased that you are living. The situation will only last for a second. When the year is over, it will seem remarkably small.
5. Do not volunteer for every organization. Your primary job as a teacher is to teach. You cannot be in each group and successfully plan for your class.
6. Take care of yourself. Teaching is spiritual. You give of yourself spiritually every day. You have to recharge in order to give your students the attention they need.
7. Meditate daily. Be pleased that you are in a profession that allows you to touch the world. Being grateful allows you divert your energy to attract positive energy. Meditation allows you have a strong mental state which will help keep you relaxed when traumatic events happen.
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. Working with your hobby will allow you to recharge and refocus. Hobbies are fun. Having fun will help reduce stress.
The teacher's behavior management will reflect in your classroom behavior management.
