Do your part to help teachers deal with the inevitable stress of their demanding career, so they don't fall prey to burnout. Universal scenarios illustrate strategies teachers can use right away to overcome stress caused by:

• Conflict with a new administrator
• An overly dependent coworker who dominates their time
• Lacking the skills needed for a new project
• Feeling demoralized by a parent's criticism
• And dozens more specific situations

Plus, along with easy-to-implement practices for self-care, teachers learn coping strategies for self-imposed stress caused by procrastination, overcommitting and disorganization.
