- Break down your daily activities into smaller tasks.
- Think of ideas that make teaching fun for you – and do them!
- Do not to take things personally, since comments may not always be pleasant.
- Stay in close touch with nature. Schedule some classes outdoors if the weather and your school policy will permit it. You can also incorporate the change of seasons and nature walks into your class lessons.
- Create some time during the school year for your hobbies. You don’t necessarily have to wait till vacation.
- Take some off-time periods to relax during lunchtime or after school.
