Stress

Stressclass is a schools' INSET package looking at stress - how to recognise it and what to do about it.

Workshop sessions come in two flavours, customised for different types of teachers and non-teaching staff. There's a reasonable amount of over-lap between the two workshops and we don't expect that staff will attend both. The difference is more one of emphasis of content.

Stress at School - is aimed at NQTs and MPG teachers, along with non-teaching and associate staff who have no significant management responsibility (but is potentially important for everyone!) who need to know how to stay on top of their game; how to avoid stress, how to recognise it and how to deal with it.

Managing stress in schools - is for middle and senior leaders. In this course we cover the same basic material as in Stress for Staff, but with a very different emphasis. Instead of managing the stress, here we concentrate on managing and supporting members of staff with stress - or who are at risk of becoming stressed.

What's in a Stressclass training workshop?

Stress is the feeling of being out of control because you don't think you can cope - and the consequences can be very severe indeed. Our stress INSET training courses cover a range of issues aimed at putting people back in control of their lives.

Topics covered include

  • Defining stress and differentiating it from pressure
  • Understanding the nature and structure of stress
  • Recognising the symptoms of stress
  • Quick-acting questions to ask which help deal with high stress scenarios
  • Ways of reducing stress in the medium term
  • Lifestyle and outlook changes for reducing the risk of stress in the long term

Value

It's important that you get value-for-money training and that we value the world around us.

Our prices include all the course costs, such as travel, materials and consumables, so there are never any hidden surprises - and for appropriate courses we also offer email follow-up to make sure anyone we train gets the best possible results. In fact, we're so sure that our training is worthwhile that if you don't think it has been, we won't charge you.

On top of this training value, we've got strong values for our social responsibility too. Please talk to us if you want to know more!

This is an intensely practical course and we recommend that schools put thought into who can sensibly work together - although we always ensure our training is relaxed, informal and supportive.
