Description
Stress in teaching has become an epidemic, with many teachers experiencing breakdowns due to the pressures of their job. This book examines the causes and consequences of this trend, as well as ways for individuals and schools to address it.
Between 1989 and 1999, a significant number of teachers left their posts, with over six thousand retiring early on health grounds each year. The author explores what is driving this phenomenon and how it affects schools and children. He also offers practical advice on how teachers can manage stress and seek support.
Breakdown: The Facts about Stress in Teaching provides a comprehensive analysis of the issue and potential solutions. It is an important resource for anyone working in education, particularly those who may be struggling with their own mental health.
