Abstract
Contents

With increasingly complex classrooms, strained relationships with colleagues and parents, high expectations from school leadership, and overwhelming bureaucratic demands, the mental and physical well-being of teachers is under growing pressure.

This book was created in response to that reality, offering a practical, hands-on, and evidence-based approach to understanding and tackling occupational stress in educational settings.

Through a clear overview of the phenomenon and its effects — from distress to eustress, and including the relational and organisational implications — the volume offers time-management strategies, relaxation techniques, tools for negotiation and effective communication, all aimed at reducing tension and building healthy boundaries between professional and personal life.
