Reihe: Essential FE Toolkit

This groundbreaking book provides readers with a basic understanding of stress in the context of FE teaching, its effects on personal and professional well-being, and suggests a wide range of strategies for managing stressors that affect FE practitioners.

- Suitable for practising FE lecturers, trainees and middle managers (departmental heads) who are responsible for their staff's well-being / ensuring their retention rates do not exceed a certain level
- Links to FENTO standards (e.g. "managing time" is one of core personal skills' standards)
- Short (long enough for key information to be included, but sufficiently snappy to be put in a handbag)

SERIES DESCRIPTION
The Essential FE Toolkit is Continuum’s brand new series on further education (FE) for teachers and college leaders. The series boasts 24 specialist, fact-filled volumes written by FE experts with significant knowledge and experience in their individual fields. Competitively priced, compact and accessible, each book should prove essential reading for FE lecturers and managers.

DESCRIPTION
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 FE teaching, 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.
