Resilience

There is no way to prepare teachers for what they are about to experience. Teaching is a stress of it's own. You can describe it or prepare them on how to avoid unneeded stress but there is no way to teach them how to prepare for it. Each person has their own ways of dealing with stress and should employ them in their fight against teacher's stress. One way that could help them would be as I said teaching ways to avoid unnecessary stress. Things like showing them how to use tests that kids can grade themselves, showing them how to not talk down to kids but talk to them like equals, learning how to deal with 'stupid questions,' how to deal with special needs kids, etc. These would help the teachers in the best way on how to stop stress before it occurred.
