Sleep is the latest theme of Jogg, Gezonde School and the Hersenstichting. It is a theme that Glos Educatief has been bringing to the attention of the education sector for some time through the Charge your Brainzzz intervention. Through collaboration with slaapoefentherapie.nl, it is now also possible to provide training about sleep for the education sector. The teachers of Openbaar Primair Onderwijs Dordrecht (OPOD) were the first to take part last week, and visitors to the Gezonde School Next Conference also got a preview during a workshop.
Sleep is extremely important for the development of the brain. But what happens when a child or young person cannot sleep well because of stress from school? Or when the home situation or behaviour before bedtime keeps the child awake? If this continues for a while, it affects behaviour in the classroom and academic performance. And as a teacher, you are affected by that. A first step is to make it a subject of discussion with the pupil and the parents. During the training, you receive a useful conversation tool for this. You also get helpful tips for the classroom, such as no longer posting grades online in the evening and simple mindfulness exercises to do with the pupils. This way, they learn to reduce stress themselves.
