Teaching in FE is a very stressful job. Any job involving people, plenty of targets and time-pressure is going to be stressful. Yet the sheer quantity of practitioners abandoning the profession suggests that there is more negativity and stress in FE than in any other sector of education.
In this groundbreaking book, Elizabeth Hartney provides readers with a basic understanding of stress, in the context of FEteaching, and its effects on personal and professional well-being. She suggests a wide range of strategies for managing stressors that affect FE practitioners, from career planning to dealing with difficult people.
