How to remain resilient in a demanding school environment
Course details
Teaching is an incredibly rewarding profession, but it comes with its unique set of challenges that can often lead to chronic stress or burnout. This course is carefully crafted to address the holistic well-being of educators, focusing on three key pillars: teacher well-being, burnout prevention, and work-life balance. We believe that by enhancing these aspects, educators can not only thrive in their professional roles but also lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
The primary aim of the course is to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and strategies necessary to proactively manage and prevent stress, in order to prevent burnout, and cultivate a balanced and sustainable teaching career. The course tries to create a supportive learning environment where educators feel empowered to prioritise their well-being without compromising their commitment to students. The course emphasises the connection between teacher well-being and a positive classroom environment, offering insights and practices to create a supportive and thriving learning space.
The course is offered by the European School Education Platform. Visit our website for more information.
