Professor Michael Bernard
Founder of You Can Do It! Education

In this Stress Management professional development program, Dr Michael Bernard shares his learning from 

  • coaching stressed teachers and principals,
  • conducting professional development stress management workshops at schools, and
  • his experiences in working with teachers and principals who retired from teaching due to stress work together with
  • his published research on stress-creating attitudes and earlier book, Taking the Stress Out of Teaching.

The program contains the latest neuroscience research that identified the importance of the pre-frontal cortex of your brain (sometimes called your inner CEO) as the source of resilience you need to combat stress. Many strategies for managing stress are designed to activate and strengthen the pre-frontal cortex.

Ways to use this program

Teachers and others can be encouraged to download booklets, listen online to audio programs and identify stress cards for personal study.

Throughout the school year, professional development sessions can be held either at a staff meeting or as a stand-alone session on different topics covered in this stress management program.

If a first- or second-year teacher has had little or no exposure to stress management and best practices for its control, it is strongly suggested teachers with the support of a mentor work through the program as part of a school's induction program. Individual professional development plans should identify areas of stress management to strengthen (e.g., relaxation, classroom management).
