HeadStrong Training in Education

According to Education Support, 43% of teachers say they have experienced all components associated with burnout! I'm very aware that this is a much bigger systemic issue, but what can we do as individual people in our individual schools to start making change? #StaffWellbeing

It's SATS week. A week where staff and students are under enormous pressure. Do we really need these high stakes exams? What are the benefits? As Einstein apparently said, 'If you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid'.

@beyondbehaviour I would have hated it if I had continued with the same teacher who seemed to take great pleasure in humiliating us. I quite enjoyed maths in my younger years but when teachers changed, I hated it and believed I couldn't do it.

Domestic abuse affects far more people than most of us realise. Many have second phones as a safety line. The consequences for those phones being discovered could be dire so please share this message. #Safety #SecurityAlerts

How do you support someone who is struggling? Learning to empathise with others is what allows others to feel seen, valued, heard and supported - that's the difference that makes the difference. #Empathy #StaffWellbeing #Education youtu.be/1Evwgu369Jw

How often do you take a step back to notice what's going on around you? We can get so wrapped up in being busy that we lose sight of the bigger picture. Sometimes taking a moment to pause can have a profound effect on out mood, thinking, creativity and problem solving. #Pause

What has been (or is) the most helpful thing you do as an Educator to keep your resilience reserves topped up?

It's Friday and the sun is shining. I'm making sure to prioritise some time outside today without phones or distractions. It helps me feel grounded and calm. What will you do for yourself today? #SelfCare #StressManagement #Resilience

It's been a hell of a week. So this is a reminder to myself and anyone else who is finding things overwhelming right now. At school, I was part of a group that helped younger children with reading. It was called 'Toe by Toe'. I loved that. If a step feels too much - toe by toe🤗

Today I am celebrating all the incredible women in my life. May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them. #IWD #EmbraceEquity

@Thinkingschool2 So true! I don't remember all of my teachers but I absolutely remember the one who supported me the most and the one who put me down the most.

As a teacher, consider what you want your students to say about you in 20 years time.

Yes, yes and yes again! If you care about creating a culture of wellbeing in your school and believe in supporting your staff like we do...please read this! #MentalHealth #StaffWellbeing

I believe Mental Health and Wellbeing should be at the very core of #Education. It's such a pleasure to be sharing knowledge and resources with organisations who share the same beliefs and values. Receiving feedback like this makes it even more worthwhile :)

Did you know that viewing natural light in the morning and afternoon is one of the most effective ways to boost mood, energy and focus?☀️It also helps improve our circadian rhythms and sleep!😴Aim for 10-15 minutes each morning and afternoon. #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #Energy

@WelbeeUK @GESSeducation My pleasure :) It's a topic I'm particularly passionate about :) And I love the work you are doing!

@HSTraining_Ed @GESSeducation Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to respond ☺️

"Staff who are satisfied, feeling supported and valued give far more than those who are tired, stressed or feeling undervalued." Here's our CEO, Mark Solomons, in @GESSeducation on why prioritising #staffwellbeing in #internationalschools is so important. buff.ly/3Ko4cpg
