Wellbeing for me means the state of peace and confidence in what I'm doing, I'm not afraid of anyone or anything

Well-being is a balance in all areas of my life. It is when I feel that everything is in the right place at the right time.

Wellbeing is feeling happy in your entire life, at home, at work and in your social life in general. In my school we give a welcome pack to the new teachers, it includes tourist information about our city, maps, leaflets... and also the teacher's bulletin with all the rules in our school, useful information about resources in our school, how to book them, maps of our school, school calendar... We use to organise a welcome meal to meet each other as every year we have new teachers in our school. We have whatsapp groups, school emails, mail boxes in the teacher's room and bulletin board also in the teacher's room to communicate and to inform about any news. We try to help each other always.

Wellbeing is maintaining a positive attitude, managing stress effectively, keeping appropriate work-home boundaries, fostering personal growth and professional development, and contributing to a community that values individuals and creates a culture of care. Our school has high teacher turnover and we are not engaging in specific activities that address teacher wellbeing.

However, when teachers approach us with an issue, we are attentive and supportive. Regarding overall wellbeing, it feels like we are supporting teachers when they burn out, instead of focusing on practices we can adopt to prevent burnout to begin with.

How and how well you manage the demands of your job depends, in part, on your personal skills in managing time, boundaries, self-expetantions and roles and role-conflicts. For example, emails consumes time, so limit the number of times per day that you check email and limit the time you spend responding. Create boundaries around your work is also essential: work should not always be your priority or take priority. For ECTs a coach or a mentor can help develop and guide career

As an educator, it's important to pay attention to your own wellbeing and to seek additional support when you need it.

The well-being at school for teachers is to be serene at your work. It means to have no stress, knowing you can talk with your colleagues and your head teacher without fear about what they are thinking. It's also have a room to stay quiet.

I work in 2 schools. In the 1st one, the head teacher welcome us each morning with a coffee... It's a good way to begin the day.

In the 2nd, there's a beautiful break room for the coffee or the meal, and there's a sofa.

They usually respect our break time : no e-mails during the week-end or holidays.

One of my head teacher congratulate and thanks me for doing some good work. The other one never said something about my work... I like to be encouraged... When I will be head teacher next year, I will congratulate every little success.

Well-being to me means a balanced state of physical, mental, and emotional health, allowing one to thrive both personally and professionally. At our school, teacher well-being is prioritized through discussion and help.

For newly qualified teachers, there is an official structure nationwide, where each newly qualified teacher has a mentor that supports them throughout their first year.

At my current school, we have a great supportive community, we have team building activities, weeky meetings with HoS and dialogue is greatly encouaged.

There's a great sense of belonging, and everyone helps each other.

It is difficult to explain well-being. In my mother tongue it can be translated into "being good" but it doesn't quite explain all of it. Well-being is an overall satisfaction with work conditions, work-life balance and general satisfaction of a person.

My school doesn't have an official strategy/program for the well-being of teachers but we always try to do team building activities and hang out together.
