In referring to important characteristics in school
culture . . . “among the most salient are the
quality of relationships among students, the
quality of students relationships to teachers and
their relationship with the school.” (HigginsD’Alessandro & Sadh, 1997, p. 556)

School/Community Context Factors
Jennings & Greenberg, 2009
The Burnout Cascade
Emotional Exhaustion
De-personalization
Lack of Accomplishment
50% leave within first 5 years of teaching (NEA, 2006)
Depression and stress
disorders at work account for more than
30% of all disability recorded at major
Canadian corporations (2002)
• Evidence supports the need for specialized
professional development that promotes
teachers’ social and emotional competence (SEC)
and well-being to improve teachers’ emotional
resilience and prevent emotional stress, thus
reducing burnout and attrition and improving
teachers’ capacity to provide well organized and
instructionally and emotionally supportive
classrooms, especially in high risk settings
(Jennings & Greenberg, 2009).
Supporting Teachers
• Enhance regulatory processes that buffer
against psychological distress
• Promote flexibility and self-reflection
• Overcome the tendency to make automatic,
reactive appraisals of student behavior that
contribute to emotional exhaustion
• Improve SEL program implementation quality
SMART Only:
Positive Effects on Teaching
• Made me more compassionate and kinder to
little kids.
• More encouraging [to students]; before wasn’t
aware of present moment.
• Try to think and realize what I need to do and
pick one goal and accomplish that in the
classroom.
14
SMART Only
• I have noticed if I’m calm, my students are also
calm. If students are really hyper, I just ask
them to take 5 deep breaths.
• Students tend to be a lot calmer.
• Before I was more stressed; now, I deal with it
and slow down; it impacts how the kids
respond.

Self-Regulation/De-centering
“I’m much more calm. Even when I’m at home,
drinking coffee, my mind’s not racing in a
thousand different places, I’m just liking my
coffee. I’ve learned how to just take things for
what they are and not keep everything on my
shoulders all the time. And because I’m not
doing that anymore, that allows me to treat
my kids better and address their needs better
and try and teach them to be that way
through my example.”

Fostering Resilience in Students:
The Mindset of Teachers
“The assumptions educators
possess about themselves,
their role as teachers, and
their students’ capabilities
play a significant role in
determining expectations,
teaching practices, and
ultimately student happiness
and success.” (p. 1)
