What is this guide about?
Teacher wellbeing is the key to school success. A research study into the links between staff wellbeing and school performance concluded that:
- How teachers feel on a daily basis is likely to affect their performance and, in turn, the performance of the pupils they teach
- Happier, motivated teachers may make pupils feel happier, motivated and more confident
- Happier teachers may also concentrate better on the job of teaching and experience more motivation to help pupils in need of special attention
