Current research indicates that about 80% of school staff, from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) to Headteachers, experience significant stress. While stress in moderation can drive productivity, ongoing, relentless stress, coupled with an inability to disconnect, becomes detrimental. This manifests in various ways but often leads to exhaustion, diminished creativity, and lost passion, ultimately reflecting in increased staff absence and higher rates of staff turnover and burnout. Such outcomes affect not only the individuals but also school teams and families.
However, 27% of schools have adopted different strategies with notable success. In this transformative workshop, we’ll explore both individual and collective approaches to fostering a thriving school environment. Prepare to challenge your assumptions, view situations from new perspectives, and uncover a secret weapon to bring about impactful change.
In this workshop, we will look at what we can do both as individuals and as a whole school so the whole school community can all thrive.
