Support for Teachers
Teaching (like Parenting) is rocket science
Teachers have responsibility not only for creating and providing lessons but also for caring for their pupils and noticing any physical or emotional problems.
Any parent knows that looking after more than two children can be challenging, a teacher can have up to thirty children in his or her care. Teachers have enormous responsibilities and one of the best things a teacher can do to cope with these demands and to continue to enjoy teaching is to become conscious of how well he / she cares for him or herself.

Children bring with them into school all their worries and hurts from home and while children and young people are not out to make life difficult for teachers but are trying to show how difficult life is for them it can be enormously difficult for a teacher to deal with challenging behaviours.
Similarly teachers come to school with their own inner upsets and hurts and while they are not out to make life difficult for children but are trying to show how difficult life can be for them, it can be enormously difficult for a child to cope with a teacher’s challenging behaviours.
