Have you ever wanted to prioritize teacher well-being in your district, your school, or in your own professional life, but weren’t sure where to begin? The Ultimate Guide to Teacher Well-Being provides a roadmap grounded in solid research and enriched with real-world examples. Whether shaping policy, leading a school, or working in the classroom, readers will find practical tailored strategies.
Chapters feature 39 evidence-based measures to strengthen teacher well-being, three levels of action – policy, school leadership, and individual teachers – and 55 inspiring good-practice examples from 27 countries.
In contrast to self-help literature or individual narratives, The Ultimate Guide to Teacher Well-Being draws on research and theory to provide practical insights for policymakers, school leaders, and educators interested in supporting teacher well-being in sustainable ways.
Teaching has always been a profession defined by paradox: deeply rewarding yet profoundly demanding. In this book, The Ultimate Guide to Teacher Well-Being, Benjamin Dreer-Göthe bridges these tensions with rare clarity, offering a comprehensive, research-grounded, and profoundly human exploration of what it means for teachers to thrive.
This book is born from a decade-long inquiry into a deceptively simple question: What can we actually do to support teacher well-being? Dreer-Göthe shows that the answer lies not in slogans or self-care mantras, but in a multi-level system that joins policy, school culture, and individual practice.
