Guiding Lights Counseling’s Post

Had a great day at the Association of Independent Schools of NSW Wellbeing conference today with my colleagues. A few takeaways: Donna Cross OAM - Belonging is the best predictor of wellbeing in the school. How do we measure belonging? Annie Gowing PhD - Young people feel connected to their school based on relational, learning and co-curricular opportunities. If a student is struggling, how can we give them an opportunity to connect? Rebecca Collie - Teachers who begin the term with high relatedness improves their vitality over the term. How can we make time for relationships at the start of the term? Rebecca Collie #2 - of paramount importance for building motivation is “autonomy-support” from self-determination theory. Build this through providing meaningful rationale for tasks, acknowledging student perspectives and using invitational language among other things. How can we build our students’ autonomy in our classrooms? #wellbeing #studentwellbeing #learning

🎯 This Teacher Wellbeing Framework, published in our recent Wellbeing for Schoolteachers report, highlights areas which show promise as drivers of teacher #wellbeing. Each school is a unique ecosystem and some of the drivers will be more relevant to one context than others. The framework is *not* intended to be definitive and should be used primarily as a discussion point amongst school stakeholders – its contents will change over time as research in this area progresses.
