Stress Relief for Educators

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, "Teaching may be frustrating....Occasionally, teachers must cope with unruly behavior and violence in the schools. Teachers may experience stress in dealing with large classes... or heavy workloads....Accountability standards also may increase stress levels, with teachers expected to produce students who are able to exhibit satisfactory performance on standardized tests in core subjects" (Star, 2005, para. 1).

Education World has a "Strategies that Work" series. Their article on Stress Relief (for educators) has some interesting suggestions:
