Teaching wellbeing to students means we as teachers must be well ourselves. In this workshop I share with teachers tools in Positive Psychology they can share with students as well as use for themselves. Even though the workshop is quit practical, I hope you can take away some strategies based on Seligman's PERMA Model.

- THE REALITY…. Teachers are among those professionals with the highest levels of job stress and burnout across many countries. (Stoeber J & Renner D, 2008) 50% of teachers who start, leave the within their first 5 years of teaching. John Hattie has linked teacher motivation, or lack thereof, to student achievement; “When teachers become burned out, or worn out, their students’ achievement outcomes are likely to suffer because they are more concerned with their personal survival.” (Hattie, 2013) Teachers are involved in about 1000 interpersonal contacts every day (Holmes 2005). The quality of this contact can either jeopardise or enhance wellbeing. If teachers have strategies to support their wellbeing , they will be better placed to manage every day stressors of the job to not only survive but flourish. In doing say, they become better role models and educators for our students. www.teacher-wellbeing.com.au

- WHAT IS WELLBEING? Wellbeing has been defined from two perspectives. The clinical perspective defines well-being as the absence of negative conditions and the psychological perspective defines well-being as the prevalence of positive attributes. The positive psychological definitions of wellbeing generally include some of six general characteristics. The six characteristics of well-being most prevalent in definitions of well-being are: the active pursuit of well-being; a balance of attributes positive affect life satisfaction prosocial behaviour multiple dimensions personal optimisation Positive psychology is the science of wellbeing and gives us evidence based strategies to better understand how to flourish. Just as health is NOT merely the absence of disease, Happiness is NOT merely the absence of unhappiness. Happiness can be learnt and is a foundation for wellbeing.

- My background in many areas .... I remember time where some you people were so inspiring and others that i just wanted to shake. I remember a Principal saying to me one day “Daniela, you cant put brains in statues”. That was a signal to give up supporting people, but helped me let go of the thought that i was responsible for others people success. I was there to help guide but at the end of the day, I am not responsible for someone else success. I can inspire and empower but i cant do it for them In fact , the great things is we never really know where our influence stops ...... Only last year, I ran into an ex-student in the street & we began talking when she said “do you remember that time when i was in yr 10 ...” at that point i started to cringe and apologise because who know what i did. She stopped me, and said , “no, I used to always hand in notes instead of my assignments and this one day, without even reading the note, you ripped it up in front of the class and put it in the bin & with that you said, life rewards effort not excuses, youve got zero for your assignment.” I looked at her and said “ id ont remember but it does sound loike something i would do”..... She continued by saying, “thankyou – at the time I thought you were a bitch but it was that moment that I never handed in a late assignment again and I have just completed my degree in Pharmacy at Syd Uni.” I was shocked, I was sure I had scarred her for life. The point here is that being in a position of management is not always about being liked or being friends, and more about acting with influence, integrity and with an intention of helping others be the ebst they can be.
- The one things I know fro sure, is that in order for me to support, inspire and empower others, I need to also, support and inspire myself. So today, we are going to be looking at wellbeing in the context of building positive connections and positive relationships with others Is that OK?
- I know all about being a teacher
- Lets get started...... Often we spend so much time thinking about, planning and giving time and energy to students that we forget to leave something in the tank for ourselves Who here has been on a plane & heard the stewards go through the safety drill before you take off? What do they say about the oxygen masks? ..... Yep, if you are travelling with small children, please put on your own mask first before attending to the children. When we dont look after ourselves, we not only lose our hair, but have the potential to lose our mind as well.
- The reality is, teaching stressful....
- NOTES – 1. write responses on coloured paper – stick paper up on wall 2. Make another list of “feelings” associated with this Of this list, which are the areas we have control over?
- The next thing is to start looking at what we do well? Who here thinks they do a good job? NOTES – what do you do well? Spend time to write for 5 min The point here is that sometimes we are so used to looking at things one way (front), we forget that perhaps there are others ways to look at things as well (side). All we need to do is ask a different question... In this case, instead of asking what is not working, we ask, what is working.
- Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths, characteristics and actions that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. Incorporating positive psychology into the broader discipline of psychology means psychology starts to: • be as concerned with strength as with weakness • be as interested in building the best in life as in repairing the worst • be as concerned with making people’s lives as fulfilling as with healing pathology • develop interventions to increase wellbeing, not just to decrease misery Source: http://www.thinkers.sa.gov.au/seligmanaddendum/files/inc/8c48cde37c.pdf
