Teachers, Change and Stress is attractively presented and is a valuable resource for teachers.

Work-related Stress
is a significant occupational health and safety issue for teachers.

Educational Change and increased expectations, together with lack of appreciation are major contributors. This is reinforced by recent research findings.

Paul Grover, Head Teacher English and History at James Fallon High School, has brought together papers which analyse the stressors and their effects. The articles cover current research and offer strategies to reduce stress. All this is presented in a context of relevant Christian principles.
