ABSTRACT
Professional students are increasingly bombarded
with numerous forms of negative stress or distress in their pursuit of graduate
studies and studies in general. In addition to rigorous course learning
expectations and educational institutional stress, students have numerous
situational and external stressors. Creating curricula and online delivery
mechanisms that maintain the focus on educational pursuit and the achievement
of advanced professional competencies, skills, and behaviors is more a matter of curricular design and forethought
than a naturally occurring condition within the course. This manuscript is
about curricular design intended to reduce negative stress on students engaged
in graduate professional education. Developing course delivery to ease learning
related stress does not occur, using traditional curricular development
approaches. What follows is a student informed approach to creating a low
stress online course on Stress Crisis and Coping as an essential skill set
needed to function in most aspects of professional work and in human service
delivery.
