About the course

This course is meant to engage school-based leadership – principals, vice-principals, department heads, curriculum leads, and teachers who play a leadership role in schools – in an emerging area of research in Canada: the psychological wellbeing of school staff. While we have seen a tremendous amount of work done in the area of students’ psychological wellbeing, there has not been a tremendous body of work done on K-12 staff wellbeing and its impact on education systems. Combining evidence, personal experience, and self-reflection, the course provides a basis for developing soft skills in self-management and for applying principles of self-development to day-to-day life in the K-12 workplace, with a focus on how school staff can improve their psychological wellbeing at work through narrowing in on aspects of their job that are within their own control.
