Implementation

How can teachers look after their own wellbeing?

Teachers can't pour from an empty cup. Looking after your own wellbeing makes you a better model for your students, and the same habits that help children also help adults.

Simple habits for teachers

  • Gratitude. Note three good things from your day before you leave school.
  • Boundaries. Choose one evening a week with no marking or emails.
  • Connection. Make time for colleagues who lift you up.
  • Movement. A short walk at lunch or after school.
  • Reflection. Each week, name one thing you're proud of.

Reduce the load

Part of teacher wellbeing is less planning pressure. GWG HQ's AI tools generate lessons, adapt them to your class, build weekly and term plans and create relief packs, so wellbeing lessons don't add to your workload.
