Event summary

88% of the teachers who attended the symposium admitted that they are currently feeling more stressed than before the pandemic, and almost half considered that they did not have enough support from the school’s management.

Among the factors analysed, lesson planning and distance learning are the aspects that generate the most stress.

During the lively debate, the speakers highlighted a series of elements to be taken into account and which to work on in order to master  possible situations of stress that occurred, in this case with the clear example of the pandemic, but perfectly adaptable to any situation during the school year.

The experts talked in depth about how to take into account details such as preparation, responsibility, communication and taking care of oneself. They gave examples of all these aspects and useful tips for teachers to put into practice.

With regard to management teams, several possibilities were raised according to the speakers’ experience of the implementation of support policies for teachers. These ranged from prevention ideas for rapid intervention to ideas related to different policies or types of organisations.

Teachers are  undoubtedly  elite athletes in a very changing world where  their role will be key and increasingly important.
