“the chance to reflect holistically on my practice, understand and share the blocks that were /are hampering me being the best me I can be at work - and subsequently out of work - and finding a place to offload my worries with regard to safeguarding and the toll it can take physically and mentally.”

Coaching for Teachers
Coaching can offer teachers a valuable space to reflect on their teaching practice away from the classroom, and find solutions to problems they are facing. By identifying strengths and resources, teachers are better equipped to deal with the daily challenges of working in a school. Typical issues explored are:

Managing difficult behaviour in the classroom
Communication with other staff
Planning and time management
Stress-related issues
Work/Life balance
Professional development

Coaching is an empowering approach that can lead to enhanced personal effectiveness, greater work satisfaction and alignment with the ethos and values of the organisation.

Teacher Well-Being Program – Australia

Why Wellbeing is necessary for Teachers
There is much talk and literature about student wellbeing and resilience. However, we cannot separate student wellbeing from teacher wellbeing. Teachers need to not only teach wellbeing and resilience but also model wellbeing and resilience. It’s hard to imagine that this can happen with the increasing trends in teacher burnout.
