It's time to make your mental bandwidth work for you. Being an
educator is more stressful than ever, and teachers and
administrators must constantly shift gears to stay on top of the
newest initiatives and students' ever-changing needs. Educator
Bandwidth: How to Reclaim Your Energy, Passion, and Time provides
the tools and strategies to reduce stress, avoid burnout, and
regain the time that gets lost to interruptions, temptations,
competing demands, and task-switching. The first step is to
understand how much stress is weighing on your own mental
bandwidth. Professional development experts Jane A. G. Kise and Ann
Holm have developed the Brain Energy and Bandwidth Survey to help
you self-assess the six key factors that contribute to bandwidth:
Balance between priorities Filtering through possibilities Mental
habits that improve focus Physical habits that fuel the brain
Connection with others Workload and time management Kise and Holm
combine the latest neuroscience research with their own extensive
experience working with educators to bring the most effective
strategies and habits that help you manage your mental bandwidth
and prioritize drains on mental energy. When you can establish good
habits, focus on what's possible within your locus of control, and
balance priorities, you can improve your educator bandwidth and
feel more engaged, centered, and effective in your work.
