That's tough Kevin. It's important that we are evaluated based on our behavior and not on things that are outside our sphere of influence.

Coping with Stress

Yes, go ahead and start with a stress inventory. Sounds like a perfect first step. It's really nice to get all your stress down on paper and out of your mind. This will also allow you to take a step back and look at your stress holistically.

Coping with Stress

It's nice to take a step back and focus on a new task Karla. Running and gardening are two great approaches. When we take a step back, we're often far more effective when we return to our tasks.

Streamlining the Grading Process

In-class reviews are a great time saver Ted. We can administer feedback to students all at once instead of doing it individually while grading. We can also spark discussion of course topics that can engage students and inspire them to learn more.
