Reflection About Stress

Clocking into work on my very first day, I went to my manager’s offices and saw the new schedule and it conflicted with different aspects of my life. It became difficult to balance school work, my job and my social life all in one day. Every Friday I was at work, and every Friday an assignment was due and every Friday my

Yes,I think kids should choose their own schedule. Some kids don't like the teachers they were put with. For instince say a student just walks in class and is talking to anther student and she/he is the only one who gets in trouble. They might think that teacher does not like them and they are going to want to change their schedule. But they will not be able to due to school rules.

When you first hear about the schedule and look at its outline, it sounds pretty solid. More breaks, longer breaks, and the main idea of getting done with core classes faster. For a student, hearing that sounds pretty good. For example if a student doesn’t lie one of the core classes then they would only have to put up with it for one-quarter.

Our team will keep work hours strictly to 7AM -5PM with students’ dormitories close by. Time of Day delivery restrictions could also apply given campus activities. Keeping an aggressive schedule, staying ahead of schedule, and planning work far in advance will assist so that these restrictions do not hit unexpectedly.

This is because there isn’t enough time in a regular school day. With a four-day week, teachers have the benefit of using the extra day as a “planning day” (Long 1). This illustrates the importance of giving teachers an extra day during the week to plan lessons and grade assignments without interfering with his or her personal life. This also contributes to teachers being more content with his or her job. Instead, some schools have begun “designating the day off for teacher training” (Cummings 1). The majority of larger school districts is using the extra day for teacher training. Using the day off makes the “teachers better” (“Is a 4-day school week” 1). As a result, teachers are better prepared, better engaged, and better educators. With training for teachers, school districts have seen a noticeable improvement in implementing new programs within classrooms. Without the cost of paying teachers on Fridays, schools can save money that can be put back into the

Stress is a very common everyday thing. People have stress so much that most of the time they don’t even know how much it’s affecting them. Stress can really affect your body, mind, and behavior. It is a normal response to situations that make you feel upset or threatened in a way. Stress is the body’s way of change. The change can either be good or bad.

Although I set working hours whilst on PEP, sometime I was required to be flexible with the time schedule to complete some tasks sooner for further processing, and this definitely challenged me especially during the assignment week at uni. For instance, if someone from the Mind Smart Guides Focus Group couldn’t attend a session, I still needed to reschedule with him or her individually to cover his/ her task.

Hey Phantom, I completely agree with you about autonomy and competence being important. I can tell from your discussion posts and the like that you’re a hyper focused motivated person – which reminds me of myself – that always needs to do their best. In that regard, being micromanaged and not meeting standards is simply not an option. With that said, personally, these traits can sometimes be a burden as well as a blessing – such as expecting too much of yourself and getting stressed. I wonder if you ever experience that and if you so how do you combat it? As for you schedule, it’s great that you have your schedule planned out so that you can be both precise when needed and make on the fly adjustments – you couldn’t be doing it any better.

Stress is something everyone goes through no matter what age, gender or race you are. Stress is the experience of a perceived threat to one’s mental, physical or spiritual well-being, resulting from a series of physiological responses and adaptations. When people think of stress they think it’s a bad thing which isn’t true, some stress is just your body’s reaction to certain situations. At times it may seem like stress is taking over your body leaving you physically, emotionally and mentally hurt but what you can do is learn how to manage your stress to have a healthier and happy lifestyle. Stress management is learning to deal with your stress and take charge. There are three types of stresses which are eustress, distress and neustress.

WIth the end of the year approaching I would like to go into the summer with a positive light on the next school year, as I know a lot of teachers do as well. I wanted to clear up a few questions I still have with the scheduling process.

In educational leadership when making tough decisions the most important question we must always ask is, “what is best for the students?” I am grateful that the dialogue and decision regarding the move to a 7-period schedule in our high schools was centered on the needs of our students.

Every business eventually runs into conflicts with their employees. People live busy lives and getting them all to work together at the same time just doesn’t seem possible in today’s society. Issues with scheduling occur due to family, training, school, and many other distractions. It is the job of the scheduler and manager to come up with a solution to satisfy as many needs as they can to avoid any deeper conflicts. Many businesses like Google and Edward Jones have switched to flex scheduling in order to keep their employees happy while also retaining a productive and profitable environment. Ed Fernandez, the one in charge of the scheduling at Clarity Base, and Jessica should look at different flex schedules

Work is a necessary part of society and the need to work has been in existence since the beginning of time. In the world we live in it is how money is made and how products are manufactured. However, what does it look like when Americans work too much? One piece of evidence presented in an article by Fred E. Stickle points out that the stress that is put on the employee in the workplace can have a dramatic effect on their health and overall wellbeing. This is further addressed in the article “Are Americans working too much?” by Schuyler Velasco and Jacob Turcotte where they explain that, “The standard ’40-hour workweek’ is actually much longer in the United States… Americans work more hours per year than people in many other leading
