Do You Have Back to School Educator Anxiety?
Summer is winding down and several of our Pearson Virtual Schools are already back in session. For educators, the back-to-school season can bring feelings of excitement and anticipation, but it is also common to experience symptoms of anxiety.
Symptoms of anxiety can include feelings of irritability, moodiness, nervousness, excessive worry, sleep disruptions, changes in appetite, heart palpitations and headaches.
Many educators begin to feel symptoms of anxiety until they feel they have adequately prepared for the coming school year, so sometimes managing the anxiety can be as simple as taking care of looming tasks.
Here are some tips to help you start the year anxiety-free:
- Establish a classroom management plan
- Get organized
- Establish routines
- Be proactive
- Take time to exercise
- Be intentional about work/life balance
- Socialize outside of the workplace
Should you experience ongoing symptoms of anxiety, please discuss your situation with a medical professional. More information about managing anxiety can be found in the resources listed below:
