Education: care & counselling of students; Teaching skills & techniques

This book challenges the idea that whole-school wellbeing and school improvement compete for time and attention. Growing evidence shows that strong school-wide wellbeing supports imaginative, effective teaching, leading to better personal and academic outcomes while preparing students for the next stage of learning or work.

The Wellbeing Effect highlights strategies adopted by schools that prioritize wellbeing, demonstrating significant improvements for both staff and students. Overemphasis on academic achievement through traditional teaching methods often leaves students disengaged, stressed, and bored, which can result in poor behavior and disruption. Teachers, too, experience ""moral distress"" from the pressure to simply ""get through the curriculum.""

The book presents an alternative: a model where teachers can teach with flair, personality, and passion, and students learn through engagement and inspiration. This approach has led to notable improvements in classroom behavior and student motivation, as learners value and take ownership of their learning. It's time to re-engage with education in a way that enhances wellbeing, fosters vibrant classrooms, and develops lifelong, curious learners.
