Self-Care For Teachers (from Doll & Associates)

Self-Care For Teachers by Anne Brunette, MSW, Family Therapist

Caring For Yourself So You can Care For Others

You became a teacher because you want to make a difference; because you love children; because you enjoy seeing the expression on a child’s face when he or she finally understands a new concept. It is that passion that makes you a great teacher—the same passion that can also lead to burn-out. Avoiding burn-out is one reason self-care is important. You cannot care for others if you do not take care of yourself. Another reason self-care is important is to enable you to be an effective teacher. If you are tired, either emotionally or physically, you cannot do your job well. Finally and possibly most important, self-care is important so you can model good balance and healthy boundaries to your students and co-workers.

Research shows that there is a strong relationship between social-emotional learning and cognitive development. But, just like math and reading, students must be taught social and emotional skills. Emotional regulation is a particularly important skill for students to learn as it affects students’ ability to make decisions, persist in goal-oriented activities, and seek help when needed. Try a few of these fun activities to help your students learn how to explore and regulate their emotions.

La investigación muestra que existe una fuerte relación entre el aprendizaje socioemocional y el desarrollo cognitivo. Pero, al igual que las matemáticas y la lectura, a los estudiantes se les debe enseñar habilidades sociales y emocionales. El control emocional es una habilidad particularmente importante para que los estudiantes puedan aprender, ya que afecta la capacidad de los estudiantes para tomar decisiones, ser persistentes en actividades enfocadas en objetivos y buscar ayuda cuando sea necesario. Pruebe algunas de estas divertidas actividades para ayudar a sus hijos a aprender cómo explorar y controlar sus emociones.

Just as research points to the importance of student SEL, studies show that focusing on the social-emotional development of adults can lead to positive outcomes for students. In addition, the same skills that can help students succeed in school and life can benefit teachers and school leaders who incorporate SEL practices into their own lives. (Panorama Education)

Del mismo modo que la investigación señala la importancia del SEL de los estudiantes, los estudios demuestran que el enfocarse en el desarrollo socioemocional de los adultos puede conducir a resultados positivos para los estudiantes. Además, las mismas habilidades que pueden ayudar a los estudiantes a tener éxito en la escuela yen la vida pueden beneficiar a los maestros y líderes escolares que incorporan las prácticas del SEL en sus propias vidas.

There are a lot of heavy things going on in our world today, and even though we try our hardest to shelter our students, they are going to worry. But, pretending that worries and fears don’t exist is the opposite of what we should be doing. In fact, encouraging kids to talk about what’s frightening them and validating them, helps tremendously.

In this lesson, you will help students understand how fear works, that it’s okay to be afraid, and how to not let fears control how they live or act. Students will identify things in their world that causes them to worry or fear and work through them together by having a group discussion.

Hoy en día hay muchas cosas muy serias que están ocurriendo en nuestro mundo y, aunque nos esforzamos al máximo por proteger a nuestros niños, se van a preocupar. Pero, el actuar en que las preocupaciones y los miedos no existen es lo contrario de lo que deberíamos estar haciendo. De hecho, cuando alentamos a los niños a hablar sobre lo que los asusta y validarlos, ayuda enormemente.

En esta lección, ustedes les podrán ayudar a los estudiantes a entender cómo funciona el miedo, que está bien tener miedo y cómo no dejar que los miedos controlen cómo viven o actúan. Los estudiantes podrán identificar cosas en su mundo que les causen preocupación o miedo y trabajarán juntos a través de una discusión en grupo.
