Reflection on Managing Teacher Stress by Glenna Bult https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia What is one take away from the piece of literature you chose to read? en-us 2017-12-11 21:12:22 UTC 2026-02-18 18:16:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215639979 "It is easy for teachers to carry stress with us, whether we're worrying about a student or thinking about the million things we have to do." This sentence really connected with me. I am constantly stressing about my to do list, or worrying about 1 particular student. I need to find a way to let go of all of that and leave it at school. Easier said than done!! I knew this job was stressful from the beginning, but the students make it all worth it. ]]> 2017-12-12 22:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215639979 the stress isn't whats dangerouse it's how we respond to it. https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640005 2017-12-12 22:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640005 https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640032 “My students are the reason I’m there, and even on my most stressful days, they make it all worth it,”

Even with all the stress, the students are worth it. You just have to find an outlet to defeat that stress before it defeats you. ]]> 2017-12-12 22:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640032 https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640080 "We can not manage pupils and learning if we do not manage ourselves" 
You are modeling that stress to your students if you carry it through your day.]]> 2017-12-12 22:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640080 https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640139 "Research has shown that keeping a joy journal will improve your 'long term well being' more than winning a million dollars in the lottery."

"Looking for joy is like looking for a color. When you look for the color blue, you see it everywhere...."

I do this all the time. I will go into work when I am sick or ignore issues at home to keep my focus on work.]]> 2017-12-12 22:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640199 https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640212 Interrupt negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. This is a quote I have been living by this whole semester. If you only focus on the negative, nothing will ever change. Its only when you find a positive in the situation to focus on, that it will change.

Sometimes our thoughts echo negative things people have said to us that we won’t let go. We can master our thoughts and redirect our abilities. Interrupt your negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Even if you have to talk to yourself. Redirect your thoughts and regain your mind."]]> 2017-12-12 22:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gbult/72rkyhspptia/wish/215640897 Keep a joy book and stop focusing on all the negative.
