Description The following Master of Education thesis explores the need for stress management classes for high school students as high school becomes more competative and stressful.
Abstract High school students are experiencing just as much stress as adults. In addition to high academic expectations, secondary-age students encounter stress with significant life events and developmental milestones, a social life that is in flux yet formative, and imminent decisions about the future. Yet, with all this stress, there are few comprehensive stress management classes available in high schools to help them maneuver this tumult with health and balance. This project aimed to determine the learning needs of high school students concerning stress management and develop a curriculum and format that would meet those needs. The curriculum is based on postsecondary stress management course content. The lesson plans are adapted to provide students with a significant portion of experiential learning through discussion, feedback, ample skill practice time, and immediately applicable assessments. Eight stress management lesson plans for high school learners were developed with these adaptations and evaluated by two secondary health teachers and one school counselor, all of whom teach stress management principles within their curriculum.
