A list of 10 points to remember in helping students in crisis. From The Guardian, the list uses UK terminology, but the points apply on both sides of the pond. I particularly like the bookends: "find out about the support services your university offers" and "lead by example and take care of yourself too."

Some interesting examples here of times when annoying classroom behaviors can be symptoms of issues with a student's wellbeing, and a few ideas of ways we can help students cope without just abandoning rigor. "Too often when faculty discuss students with mental-health conditions, the conversation ends in the same place: Either we establish rigorous standards or we coddle students. But that is a false binary."

Your circadian rhythms may have as much to do with the feeling of sleepiness as the actual amount of sleep you get. That has interesting implications for class scheduling and advising.

How do you handle teaching at times that aren't your peak active hours - like the evening seminar or an early morning class? And what can you do to engage students who are clearly in that boat? Anastasia Salter has some techniques which worked for her. (The comment thread on this article also has some useful suggestions.)

"Backward design" is a popular approach in planning a syllabus - start with your goals for what the students will learn and practice, and work back from there. This article suggests an interesting twist on that process. Concentrate on how your work will flow during the semester, and use your imagined ideal month to make sure you have the time and energy to meet your teaching goals.

If a student's level of academic stress is one reason they abuse "study drugs" like Adderall or Ritalin, then pedagogies which reduce stress might have a positive impact on this campus health issue. Also note the point that just being more focused doesn't make cramming a productive study technique...
