Reasons for Stress in Northern Communities

Stress in northern school communities:
- little or no school wide socializing
- small or exclusive circles of friendship
- new staff members find it hard to fit in,
- established pattern in staff room
- change is met with resistance,
- little effort to connect with others during the day
- work long hours in isolation
- same job, fewer staff
- technological change without adequate funding and support
- increasing expectations of parents and community
- lower socio-economics

Angelina, do we want to add these in on a Powerpoint slide after the groups have talked about it, or somewhere else?

This was some info from an article Julia wrote for Teacher. No need to include. We'll debrief after group work.
