Teachers in lower standard programs use strategies to manage emotions effectively.
The study looked at how teachers in a special education program with lower standards deal with emotions like anger, fear, and sadness. It found that teachers often feel angry because of student behavior, fearful of student safety, and sad about students' tough home lives. Teachers use different strategies to manage these emotions, like changing the situation, looking at things differently, or getting support from others. They may express these emotions or keep them inside. Overall, teachers use a mix of strategies to handle anger, a variety of strategies for fear, and mostly changing how they see things for sadness.
