Handbook of Mental Wellness Strategies for Educators: Research-Based Best Practices - Paperback

by Ken Badley (Editor), Genie Kim (Editor), Iriel Jaroslavsky Rindlisbacher (Editor)

The Handbook of Mental Wellness Strategies for Educators offers health-giving ways to reframe teaching work and the stresses that come with it, examining specific evidence-based strategies for dealing with teaching anxieties and trauma-related stressors. This comprehensive and scholarly volume, which intentionally steers clear of burnout literature, pinpoints several sources of teacher anxiety and suggests specific linguistic and cognitive strategies to support educators in finding positive, solution-oriented ways to navigate issues they inevitably face. Throughout the volume, chapter authors emphasize the role of teaching dispositions and describe some of the day-to-day classroom practices used by veteran colleagues to reduce stress and anxiety on the job. This handbook is essential reading for pre-service and in-service teachers, scholars, and teacher educators.
