Description
We all know teaching can be stressful, especially if you are a day to day casual teacher. How can we be expected to empower and inspire young people when we ourselves are struggling with time, energy and expectations?
More and more research is showing that Positive Psychology can not only build student wellbeing but also teacher wellbeing.
In this program we explore some simple tools that you can begin using straight away using Seligmans PERMA Model and more.
Participants leave with a plan to manage their own wellbeing as well as ideas on how to begin integrating wellbeing in their classroom and across other school programs.
