About this course

Teacher burnout gets talked about constantly and treated seriously rarely — a wellbeing day here, a poster in the staffroom there.

Methodology

Practice Over Theory

Theoretical lessons are kept brief — most of the time is spent on mindfulness workshops, meditation, breathing exercises and stress-management practice.

Personal & Group Practice

Simple Tools

A plain timer, a chime and short scripts read aloud are all that is used; apps are discussed only as an option, and every practice works without them.

What you'll take home

Practise breathing, a short body scan, mindful movement and a pause for hard moments, and know which suits you.

Use mindfulness-based practices in the classroom to strengthen student relationships, with an easy way out for every student.

Leave with a plan for the eight weeks after the course to keep a short daily practice going.

Pause before responding in a hard classroom moment, so that you make more conscious, balanced decisions.
