About this Course
2 hours
When teachers work well together, the whole school succeeds.
Teachers (and administrators) who feel good about coming to work, have healthy relationships with their colleagues, communicate & collaborate in a clear and kind manner, and who feel good about the work they do, will be more effective employees. They will bring a higher level of energy into the classroom, and they will demonstrate greater resiliency when confronted with adversity.
Join us for 2 hours & learn the tools to build a positive work culture where staff will understand that a supportive & respectful workplace environment is a key factor contributing to individuals flourishing.

Current Australian research is showing that a multilayered, systems approach is required to promote educator wellbeing. Healthy collegial relationships & workplace culture are the next parts of the layer (after individual wellbeing) before leadership/community and policy.
As teacher morale increases, so will the positive energy in the building. Students will notice it; parents will notice it; and anyone who visits the building will notice it. Teachers who feel good about coming to work will bring a higher level of energy into the classroom, and they will demonstrate greater resiliency when confronted with adversity.
