Introduction
Our focus this year is to reflect on well being in our subject department and to prepare a statement of wellbeing to include in our subject department plan.

Related school- wide initiatives.
This related directly to our SSE for this academic year.

What does it mean for Business Studies
In our department we support the wellbeing of students through teaching and learning approaches that help them feel confident, connected and actively engaged in their learning and gives them a sense of achievement.

We use learner centered teaching and learning methodologies which help to develop key skills in areas which are important for wellbeing.

We foster positive relationships in the classroom and try to create a climate in which our students feel safe and secure.

Classroom Strategies in Action

We encourage active and collaborative team learning through group work and think, pair and share peer assessments etc
we display students work on notice boards in our classrooms to give them a sense of accomplishment. We also use the visualiser where appropriate.
Each teacher has their own classroom
We encourage the students to bring in relevant material , articles etc they have come across
Students present group work to build their confidence in presenting and to practice protocols for listening to each other.

The close relationships in our dept also supports.
