How can teachers, middle leaders, senior leaders and headteachers help each other to stay in the profession? As unprecedented numbers of teachers in the UK leave teaching due to the demands of the job, this course aims to deliver a collection of cutting edge strategies that school leaders and classroom teachers can implement immediately to keep teachers teaching. The key to the future of our young people is in the education they receive and this course takes a serious look at how schools can prevent "teacher burnout" and retain their best. The course includes video lectures, articles, downloadable resources and even diagnostic quizzes to support you, the teacher or school leader, in creating a culture of positive well-being in your school.
The course includes:
An exploration of policies that can enhance teacher wellbeing
How to inspire change from below in schools
How to protect your own mental health and that of others
Some strategies to support positive behaviour for learning both in classrooms and around school
Strategies to reduce marking and assessment workload
A discussion of toxic school cultures and how to avoid them and change them
Contributions from leading educators like Katharine Birbalsingh, Georgina Young, Pete Sanderson and Sam Strickland.
