The teaching profession entails many daily responsibilities in and out of school hours, often leaving educators with little time for self-reflection. While the primary focus is on students’ well-being and academic success, this course allows educators to learn how to prioritize their well-being through self-care and self-awareness, empowering them to understand better how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours influence their interactions with students and colleagues. Participants will explore new methods of self-care, including effective emotional management techniques. These skills will enable them to nurture professional relationships with students and colleagues while managing stress effectively.
By the end of this course offered by the Pastoral Formation Institute, participants will:
- Develop self-awareness and resilience.
- Learn to detach emotions from students’ behaviour.
- Gain assertiveness skills.
- Appreciate the importance of self-care.
