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 circumstances, the stress of a teacher is just as high as police officers.
Teaching is the only profession that create other professions. Teachers educate students to read, do math, write and form opinions. This is a large job for our society's future.
As a teacher you must take care of yourself. You are the foundation to our future. Looking after yourself and controlling your behavior is important to your creativity and activity in the classroom
First, identify your stress. The blog "Have Fun Teaching" lists feelings 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 thoughts that are positive. Think of what makes teaching fun for you and smile.
2. Exercise. Exercise releases endorphins to help you handle your stress.
3. Eat healthy. Eating meals which provide you with energy for teaching will help you decrease stress.
4. Be appreciative. Be thankful that you are alive. The situation will only last for a moment. When the year is over, it will realize it is exceedingly 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 proper care of yourself. Educating is spiritual. You give of yourself emotionally every day. You have to renew your soul in order to provide your students the attention they need.
7. Meditate daily. Be satisfied that you are in a career that allows you to touch with the world. Being grateful allows you to redirect your energy to attract positive energy. Relaxation allows you have a strong emotional being which will help keep you calm when stressful situations occur.
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. Hobbies allow you to replenish and refocus. Hobbies are fun. Having fun will help reduce stress.
The teacher's behavior management will reflect in your classroom behavior management.
