WELL

Overview

The Wellbeing of tEachers and Leaders in schooLs (WELL) Node brings together researchers, teachers, school leaders, and community members to co-create, implement and evaluate policies that can improve the wellbeing of teacher and leaders in primary and secondary schools in Australia.

Teacher wellbeing is crucial as it directly impacts educators’ ability to teach and lead effectively and their decision to remain in the profession.

By supporting teacher wellbeing, we aim to increase teacher retention rates and thereby tackle the national teacher shortage, elevate the teaching profession’s status, and enhance the overall quality of the educational system.

WELL is funded by the Sydney Policy Lab.
