All in the mind?
Description
"What makes one teacher calm and collected, when others feel frazzled? Find out, as Professor Cary Cooper investigates the psychology of stress. In the third programme in this four part series, two psychologists recommend ways for teachers to cope better with stress. Professor Cary Cooper from Lancaster University is joined by occupational psychologist Emma Donaldson-Feilder, as they examine questionnaires filled in by teachers and support staff at Kings Langley Secondary School, where we carried out a week of experiments measuring stress levels. They identify which coping techniques make PE teacher James Dyson so much more relaxed than many of his colleagues. Obviously being fit helps, but his secret is far more about the way he refuses to worry about things which aren't under his control. But the experts also say coping techniques can't simply be learnt, every teacher has to develop their own."
