TEACHERS: Tips to staying calm all day #starlingschool

Staying calm and unruffled helps you properly manage your classroom and make you more productive as the day progresses. Staying calm is a reflection of how you feel inside.

It’s not really easy to stay calm especially when you are a teacher, as there can be a lot of distractions as you try to balance your teaching tasks and your pupils.

So, how do you put your emotions in check when things are not going as planned?

• As often as possible have quite moments before your pupils resume for the day.
• Visualize yourself handling chaotic moments calmly and successfully.
• See yourself following through with the day’s work, setting expectations with confidence.
• Visualize yourself successfully taking charge of your day
• When there’s a situation in your classroom, just take deep breaths before reacting. Pause and think through before you speak.

When you do this every day, you’ll experience frayed nerves calmed and you’ll be more prepared, confident and less hesitant towards your work.
