THE school environment is so important when it comes to promoting student health and wellness but also the health and wellness of teachers and staff. Healthy working environments are important for teacher retention and productivity.

A report from Pennsylvania State University last year 2017 said that elementary school teachers who have greater stress and show more symptoms of depression create classroom environments that are less conducive to learning, which leads to poor academic performance among the students. The effects of teacher stress range from lower scores on Math tests to more behavior problems and lower levels of social adjustment.

The report also outlined several proven interventions and programs to reduce teacher’s stress and ensure that school environments are healthier for both teachers and students. Here are some ways teachers and staff can help promote wellness:

  • Teachers can participate in the lead short physical activity breaks that integrate physical activity into any moment of the school-day-right along-side with their students.
  • Teachers can start a walking program and keep a walking log to help them walk their way to better health by keeping track of progress.
  • Teachers can invite other school staff to have a stock of healthy snacks and water stations where they can re-energize in a healthy way.
  • Teachers can launch a salad club with their co-workers by having everyone bring a salad ingredient. They must make sure someone brings a mix of lettuces and a protein.

Being actively concern with one’s health and wellness is already a top priority in our times. Healthy body is a product of a healthy mind. Start your personal or group health and wellness activities now. Utilize whatever is available in the school in terms of space and time. Encourage others to join so that they will also be healthy in body, mind, and soul.
