Assessment Teachers, Managers, Leaders

 


Teachers & Staff

Welcome to your Teachers & Staff Awareness Assessment

You are encouraged to take your time, reflect on the questions, and allow the assessment to inform next steps in how you explore Take a Breath for Schools and Communities. This assessment is anonymous and is simply for your own self-exploration and assessment.

Your School/Group and Community- In these first few questions some of the answers may be obvious and some you might have to stop and think a bit. Answering them might help you start to notice more about your day, and your school/group; how you feel, or what you might want to focus on more often. Then the recordings that follow on the website can support your new intentions and goals. Assessing yourself and then creating new intentions is key to how the brain works!

Personal Life- Emotions, thoughts and feelings you experience. In these questions we will explore how you feel during your day. Again, some of these questions may require some deeper thinking, and, well...feeling. These are all important to help you recognize your ability to self- regulate and manage yourself during your day. This enquiry is private, and personal. For that reason, we are thrilled to offer communication tools on this website. Which means some of you might choose to practice speaking and listening with others around these themes. Safe, supportive communication is a valuable tool, we suggest you use it.

Health and Wellness- Regarding your physical body and fitness, self-care, and more. Here you will find some specific questions about many areas you deal with every day. We all have habits, behaviours and patterns which sometimes undermine our overall health and wellness and undermine our goals and intentions. These questions might give you increased awareness which you can use to your advantage, even inspiring you to reach towards your potential. We suggest you practice the recordings on the site which will support you and create new possibilities.

After Completing Your Assessment When you are complete, look back at your results- If most of your answers are on the side of “Don’t Agree” your score suggests an overall stress or dissatisfaction with your current state of health and overall wellness. We recommend you work on the initial components of Breathe and Relax. Select some shorter recordings from those areas, to build a lasting relaxation response which will allow you to progress to other more complete recordings. If your assessment shows most of your answers as on the side of “Agree”, it suggests you are in a balanced overall state of health and wellness. You may choose to select from any and all of the recordings on the website.
