Managing stress

Description

Do your management meetings seem to go round in circles? Do you feel that your colleagues are part of the problem rather than the solution? Professor Cary Cooper from Lancaster University is joined by occupational psychologist Emma Donaldson-Feilder in the second of this series about how to manage school stress. Making use of scientific data gathered in a series of experiments measuring stress levels at Kings Langley Secondary School, our psychologists recommend effective ways of running shorter meetings, and reducing the stress caused by tricky parents. They also look at ways to help teachers prioritise their paperwork and senior teachers have tips for their over-conscientious colleagues who arrive in their classrooms fully prepared, but exhausted.
