How to lead wellbeing across a school
Hello - and Happy Monday,
I want to take a moment to tell you about my upcoming online course: How to lead wellbeing across a school.
It is a online course for anyone responsible for developing, improving and raising the profile of wellbeing in a school.
It will be held on Tuesday 21st September 2021 - 9am - 12pm (with a short break at the half way point)
What is it?
This is a leadership development programme that teaches delegates how to lead wellbeing across a school.
These are all the principles and processes I have used as a headteacher and a consultant to help schools develop a positive wellbeing culture and transform from the inside out.
My INSET training is all about how individuals can change their daily behaviour to impact on wellbeing. This project is all about developing whole school change and putting your staff on a trajectory for very high levels of wellbeing.
Who is it for?
Suitable for anyone responsible for developing, improving and raising the profile of wellbeing in a school.
Why do we need it?
Recent research from the Teacher Wellbeing Index 2020 is telling us that something needs to be done for staff who work in a school. The figures are stark - and something needs to be done.
-62% of education professionals described themselves as stressed.
-77% of senior leaders describe themselves as stressed.
-53% said they do not receive sufficient guidance about their wellbeing.
-42% said they either did not have, or were unsure if they had, a wellbeing policy. (If they do, in most cases it would be best described as an "Ill mental health and lack of wellbeing policy".)
-58% of schools do not regularly survey their staff to establish levels of employee wellbeing.
This tells us it is time to take action.
The structure:
+ 1 x 3-hour session (with a halfway break) facilitated online by Simon Bolger, That Wellbeing Guy
+ Opportunity to network with other wellbeing leads and develop practice together
+ Full resources and templates for the project are supplied
+ Continued support after the project from Simon and other delegates through access to a private Facebook group
What it'll teach you:
+ How to build and articulate a wellbeing vision for your school
+ How to create an action plan to develop a culture of wellbeing
+ How to clearly communicate the message to staff
+ How to measure staff wellbeing
+ How to act upon your wellbeing data
+ How to lead a change process
+ How to develop your own leadership capacity
Things to know:
+ At just £70 per person +VAT, this is the best value CPD that your school can invest in
+ Only 30 delegate spaces per group
