Full Description
This exciting and inspiring text offers easy-to-implement strategies and tools to improve teacher well-being in schools. Teacher well-being is of paramount importance in the profession and has never been as necessary as it is today, even being included at the heart of the current Ofsted framework. Drawing together theory, popular culture and real-life stories from teachers, each chapter focuses on one of ten inspirational and iconic individuals from diverse backgrounds as archetypes to explore key strands of well-being including healthy habits, resourcefulness, resilience, managing pressure, workload, time management and positivity.
Emphasising the importance of well-being and aspiration for teachers at all stages of their career, the chapters feature:
a constructed definition of each icon and how their achievements translate into the teaching profession
a case study exploring how a teacher has overcome well-being challenges in their career and how this shaped them as a professional
key lessons and takeaway actions.
Including a foreword by Hannah Wilson, Co-founder and Director of Diverse Educators, Well-being Wins for Teachers translates the abstract notion of well-being into tangible and practical strategies for all teachers.
