Live Learning 26: Surviving to Thriving: Prioritising Teacher Wellness.
Live Learning is Future Anything’s continuing professional development series for educators.
Each month, the Future Anything team chat with movers, shakers, thinkers and doers from the world of entrepreneurship, education and beyond on topics designed to help build enterprising mindsets in schools.
In this Live Learning session, we explored practical strategies for enhancing teacher well-being, increasing self-care and resilience. Drawing from wellness and positive psychology, the session offered actionable insights to help educators thrive in both their personal and professional lives.
Future Anything’s Dan Dempsey was joined by guests Amy Green (The Wellness Strategy) and Liam Casson (CEO, Reset Moves, & Head of Wellbeing and Education at Seefeld Investments)
