Educational Leadership

A new study finds a three-year trial of the ‘reflective circles’ approach to peer support offers a way forward for teachers whose already stressful jobs have become even tougher during the pandemic.

No single group of people is responsible for this crisis, but we all have a part to play in improving working conditions for school leaders.

Examinations are stressful, and can be extremely challenging – this is undeniable. I always found that the most hair-raising part of the examination season was the space of time following the exam when everyone gathered in the common room and compared their answers.

Now this post-exam interrogation is carried out at a national level through Twitter, Facebook and other forms of social media.

Yoga and mindfulness programs in schools have been proven to mitigate or reduce some of the negative impacts of stress on academic achievement and future outcomes.
