Individual Stress Management Coursework in Canadian Teacher Preparation Programs
Harris, Gregory E.
Canadian Journal of Education, v34 n4 p104-117 2011
Teacher stress is a significant issue facing the teaching profession. The current paper explores individual stress management as a viable option to address stress in this profession. Specifically, Canadian teacher education programs are examined to identify the prevalence of pre-service teacher education courses focused on individual stress management. In light of the study findings, the author presents a curriculum framework for the development of a course focused on individual stress management for pre-service teachers as a means to facilitate increased availability of such coursework in Canadian teacher preparation programs. Potential areas of future research are also presented. (Contains 4 footnotes.)
