Recently, a 25-year-old head teacher of Xiamen Technician College is suspected of committing suicide by jumping off a building due to high work intensity, which has aroused social concern. This young teacher, who was supposed to be a new force in the cause of education, chose to end his life in such an extreme way. His death makes us wonder how difficult the work of the head teacher isWhat kind of dilemmas and challenges do they encounter in their work?And how much support and help did they get?Who's crushing their shoulders?
1. The pressure of the class teacher's work.
The class teacher is an important force in the school, undertaking multiple tasks such as teaching, management, and education, and has to face expectations and responsibilities from the school, family, and society. The job of a class teacher requires not only professional knowledge and skills, but also good psychological quality and emotional management ability. However, the work pressure of class teachers is often overlooked and underestimated. According to some surveys and studies, the stress of class teachers** includes: personal career development pressure, work task pressure, social pressure, emotional fatigue and professional exhaustion. If these pressures are not resolved in time, they can have a negative impact on the mental health of the class teacher and even lead to psychological problems such as depression. According to statistics, the mental health of class teachers is generally lower than that of other teachers, and nearly a quarter of class teachers have varying degrees of psychological distress.
2. Support for the work of the class teacher.
The work pressure of the class teachers is so high, so what about their work support?Job support refers to the help, care, recognition, rewards and other resources that individuals receive from organizations, leaders, colleagues, families, society, etc., which can relieve individual work pressure and improve individual job satisfaction and performance. However, the work support of class teachers is often insufficient and lacking. According to some surveys and studies, the main problems of work support for class teachers are as follows: insufficient organizational support, insufficient leadership support, insufficient support from colleagues, insufficient family support, and insufficient social support. The lack of support makes class teachers feel lonely, helpless, anxious, depressed, and even suicidal at work. According to statistics, the job satisfaction of class teachers is generally lower than that of other teachers, and nearly one-third of class teachers want to give up their job as class teachers.
3. Improvement of the work of class teachers.
With so much pressure and so little support from the class teacher, it is an unsustainable state of affairs and an intolerable phenomenon. We should pay attention to the mental health of class teachers and provide them with the necessary support and assistance so that they can engage in education in a healthy, happy and dignified manner. To this end, we need to improve the work of class teachers from the following aspects:
1.Schools should strengthen the importance and support for the work of class teachers, formulate reasonable work systems and norms, provide sufficient material and human resources, establish effective work coordination and communication mechanisms, give class teachers sufficient autonomy and decision-making power, and give class teachers reasonable work evaluations, rewards and punishments.
2.Leaders should strengthen the guidance and support for the work of the class teacher, give the class teacher clear work goals and feedback, give the class teacher help and support in a timely manner, care for and respect the personal development and psychological needs of the class teacher, and create a harmonious working atmosphere.
3.Colleagues should strengthen the work cooperation and support of the class teacher, form a good team spirit and atmosphere, establish a relationship of mutual trust and respect, establish a platform for mutual learning and Xi and communication, establish a network of mutual help and support, and jointly bear work responsibilities and pressure.
4.Families should strengthen their understanding and support for the work of class teachers, give them enough care and affection, give them enough time and space, give them enough encouragement and comfort, and give them enough companionship and support, so as to jointly maintain family harmony and happiness.
5.The society should strengthen the recognition and support for the work of class teachers, give class teachers enough respect and trust, give class teachers enough honor and prestige, give class teachers enough attention and support, give class teachers enough protection and rights protection, and jointly promote the development and progress of education.
The class teacher is the cornerstone of education, the guide of students, and the pillar of society. Their work is honorable and hard. Let's care for the class teacher, support the class teacher, and create a better environment and conditions for the work of the class teacher, so that they can enjoy the fun of education, realize the value of education, and contribute to the cause of education!
