There's no doubt about it....teaching is stressful!
Here are some fun and easy ways to raise the spirits of your staff or colleagues:
- Have random drawings at staff meetings for free and inexpensive prizes such as a preferred parking spot for the week or a new set of markers.
- Distribute bubble wrap during testing week or other stressful weeks. Include a note saying, "Pop 3 capsules every 4-6 hours or as needed for stress."
- Place a bowl of fresh fruit in the teachers' lounge.
- Write positive notes, and slide them under classroom doors.
- Plan and implement a staff member exercise group.
- Have students sing Happy Birthday to each staff member on their birthday.
- Check with local businesses for donations of coupons towards freebies and discounted services and products. Distribute in mailboxes or at meetings.
- Have a jeans day just because.
- Compile and distribute a list of businesses that provide educator discounts.
- Have a staff shout-out board! Read the shout-outs at monthly staff meetings.
