Creating a Classroom Environment That Helps Students Grow Studies on the mental health of school principals and teachers are now in mainstream media. Principals reported higher levels of burnout than the general population, twice as much difficulty sleeping as a result of stress and were at higher risk of depression. ABC news Jan 2018 Sydney Morning Herald reported in 2017 that, 'Up to half of all Australian teachers are leaving the profession in the first five years.' The sheer quantity of work and a lack of time to focus on teaching and learning were the two biggest causes of stress. Our Students Are Suffering Also. It’s not just our teachers and school leaders that are suffering but also our students. Many classroom teachers are dealing with students who display: ● A lack of focus and attention that often leads to ... ● Disruptive behaviour that often leads to poor attendance and this leads to... ● Poor academic performance and confidence. It becomes a negative self-fulfilling prophecy! Sadly, the interventions to make this better and improve the classroom experience for students and teachers miss a crucial component - the link between mental health and school performance. ● Nearly half (47 per cent) of Australian students feel very tense when they study, compared to the international average of 37 per cent. ● Based on the OECD average, 67 per cent of Australian students report feeling very anxious even if well prepared for a test, compared to the international average of 56 per cent (64 per cent for girls and 47 per cent for boys). School-based stress reduction programs based on mindful play, fun and movement, have been shown to be effective in the United States. Similar programs would benefit Australian school children.
