Understanding Teacher Stress and Role as a Role Model
Teachers play a crucial role in students' lives as role models, guiding them through challenges both academically and emotionally. They are sources of inspiration, encouragement, and wisdom. However, the teaching profession comes with its own set of stressors, ranging from motivating unmotivated students to managing workload and coping with change. By fostering open communication and creating a positive learning environment, teachers can make a significant impact on students' growth and development.

Teachers As Role Models Teachers are founts of experience. They have already been where their students are going along lessons; not only regarding subject matter, but lessons on life
A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness . A role model is someone we admire and someone we aspire to be like. We look to them for advice and guidance. A role model can be anybody: a parent, a sibling, a friend but some of our most influential and life-changing role models are teachers.
At six to eight hours a day, five days a week, We as a teacher are poised to become one of the most influential people in ourstudents lives. After their parents, children will first learn from us, as their elementary school teacher. Then, as a middle school teacher, we will guide students through their education lives. As children become young adults, learning throughout middle school and into high school, we will answer their questions, listen to their problems and teach them about the new phases of their lives. We not only watch our students grow,we help them grow.
Motvate Students to share their problems Students look to teachers for approval and positive reinforcement. We should encourage open communication and free thinking with our students to make them feel important. If ourclassroom is a friendly place where students feel heard and respected, they will be more eager to learn. Despite much discussion concerning the nature of workplace stress, our jobsare getting more and not less stressful.

How to cope with problems related to students psychologically demanding In Turkish Education ,three is a 6 - S rules that a teacher musthave in his personality touse for students: Sevgi(Love),Sayg (Respect ) ,Sab r( Patience),Sadakat (faith) , Sempati(sympathy) and Sagduyu (foreseing) By using oneor a few of them ,a teacher should catch any problem with the student. Or else the students create some visibleproblem-like behaviours to give the message to be realized and felt. : They might create different repeated actions like, coughing ,sleeping on the desk , laughing everything nonsence, and tryingto make the teacher angry but his message is again please see /feel me that I have some problemsfor your help..
They might create agression , show the problem of controlling anger for their clasmates. leave completely blank/empty exam sheet means again for the same message , pleasehelp me keep toocalm and silent or show fast changable mood.
The PCG Services at our school.
On this point I had a short interview with the expert of Psychological Counceling and Guidance Service, and she told me that as a role model the students would prefere reflect about their problems using one above. whena teacher meet one of the above messages, he should create a face to face dialogue with the psychological demanding student and he should start a warm and efficient listening , to understand the basis of the problem whetherit s a family, health or school based problem. We usually start with you don t look well recently, you look tired and I m worried about you. Could I help you? We should listen to them and then begin to ask basic questions about his/her parents, health, school subjects etc. to try to find the reason. And if the problem is tooserious for us to help we (the teachers) should tell about the students to the PCG Service.
The service invites the students for face to face councelling. They invite or contact to the parents on phone to learn if the student has any health problems since the birth. If the problem goes beyond the PCG Service they persuade the family to contact a psychiatrist or an expert psychologat a hospital. Then the duration goes on in form of trivet until the happy end.
