Teachers hold classrooms full of different personalities, emotions and needs while managing planning, assessment, behaviour, expectations, families and their own lives.
After more than 10 years working in school settings, I have seen how closely teacher Wellbeing and student Wellbeing can be connected.
My teacher Wellbeing workshops explore both sides of the equation:
How can I support my own Wellbeing?
and
How can I better understand and support the children in front of me?
Workshops can include:
- Understanding stress and the nervous system
- Teacher self-regulation
- Mindfulness for educators
- Self-compassion
- Understanding children's stress responses
- Looking beyond behaviour
- Connection before correction
- Strengths-based teaching
- Emotional awareness
- Creating sustainable Wellbeing practices
- Building a culture of Wellbeing within schools
The workshops are rooted in neuroscience, mindfulness, Positive Psychology and practical reflection.
The intention is not to add another responsibility to a teacher's workload.
It is to offer tools that can become part of everyday practice.
Teachers don't have to be perfectly regulated to support children. They simply need greater awareness of themselves and the children they teach.
