The major implication of these findings is that if we want to improve school performance, we also need to start paying attention to teacher wellbeing. How teachers feel on an everyday basis is likely to affect their performance and so, in turn, the performance of the pupils they teach.”Professor Rob Briner & Dr Chris Dewberry

The concept of well-being comprises two main elements: feeling good and functioning well. Feelings of happiness, contentment, enjoyment, curiosity and engagement are characteristic of someone who has a positive experience of their life. Equally important for well-being is our functioning in the world. Experiencing positive relationships, having some control over one’s life and having a sense of purpose are all important attributes of wellbeing. National Economic Forum

My colleague and I offered it across our schools to all head teachers.
Over the course of last year we have had 7 new takers for Reflective Dialogue.
It has been included as a source of HT CPD within D&G
Other colleagues say they are doing this too.
We have had more requests this year.
