Stress Reduction Tips for Secondary School Teachers
My life in education began at the ripe old age of five. On a sunny, late-summer, prairie day in September, 1958 I was preparing to enter a school building for the very first time. As I recall, I was afraid for my life, but my mother assured me, as I climbed into the family Chevy, that this was something that everyone did and that it would be the first day of the greatest adventure on which I would ever embark. She held my hand as she pulled me out of the car and ushered me up the worn wooden steps into, what I later learned was, a vestibule – a word I have never forgotten and that is now as synonymous with education for me as any of the thousands of others I have studied in my decades in the business. Anyway, the vestibule spilled into my first ever classroom, which seemed like an airport hanger in size, covered with color and pictures and charts and blackboards and alphabets (though I didn’t know what an alphabet was at the time). I met new earth people like Wendy Gill and Jordy Merrick and Ivalee Nayko and Donnie Wilson. Donnie Wilson was on his second tour of duty in Grade One, so he was the go-to guy whenever I needed important information about what was going on. Anyway, I have been pretty much going to school ever since – almost 60 years – and my mother was right. It has been a most excellent adventure. I finished high school in 1970 and then went on to University where I obtained my B.S. (and everyone knows what B.S. stands for). I then left the school system for awhile and farmed but during that time, I took courses in coaching and in agricultural production so really, I was continuing a formal education as well as taking part in the whole experiential process of farming. After seven years on the farm, I returned to university a second time and I got another type of B.S. Many of my friends referred to it as simply a finer form of the original B.S. Feeling that regular B.S. was not enough, I went on to garner my M.S. which as you may or may not know, stands for More of the Same. Many years later I completed my PH.D. which stands for the fact that the B.S. was Piled Higher and Deeper!! Regardless, I was by now a true advocate of formal education at any level. I longed for school and the school environment whenever I was away from it. I yearned for the smell of classrooms and gymnasiums, the magic of the first day in autumn and the relief and sense of freedom that came with the last day in June. I have loved over 3500 Fridays and fought depression through nearly the same number of Mondays. School has become and always will remain a grand part of who I am. But, with all that wonder and amazement also comes a great deal of stress from time to time. The stress of heavy responsibility; the stress that comes when it is time for supervisory evaluation; the stress of job security; the stress of constantly managing student behavior as superiors and colleagues dictate it should be managed. It is difficult to control these stressors because they are often out of our control and within the pay-grades of some administrator or supervisor working great distances from the front lines of educational realism. The stress of marking student work and reporting student progress, however, may be within our wheelhouse of control, simply because we are often allowed to put a bit of our signature on these practices from time to time. And with these thoughts of teacher stress resulting from marking and reporting of student work and progress, I now address the causes and remedies of such in the essay that follows.
