CMB Stress Management Training for Schools
T
eaching is widely recognised as one of the most stressful occupations there is. Research by the NUT highlighted a long list of common causes including:
- long working hours
- excessive workload
- pressures of school inspections
- providing cover for teacher shortages and absences
- disruptive pupil behaviour
- unnecessary bureaucracy
- criticism by politicians and media
The teaching staff are the most important resource in any school. When they are exposed to continuous high levels of stress they become unmotivated, their physical and mental health begins to suffer and so they become less able to deliver the high quality of teaching that your pupils deserve.
CMB Training offers bespoke, cost effective training in stress management practices that can help your staff learn how to manage stress and become more effective in their jobs. We have developed our sessions with teachers in mind although they are equally appropriate for your non teaching staff. The 'Posture of Power' is particularly effective for teachers enabling them to stand in front of a class in a way that is more relaxed, more balanced and stable and thus enables them to cope with stressful situations with greater ease.
Why not email us and book a free taster session today? These are available to schools in the Berkshire area so you can see what benefits our training could have for your staff morale, turnover and sickness levels. There are no strings attached - it's just an opportunity for you to try us out and see whether our courses (and dare I say teaching style) meet with your school's stress management needs.
