TOPICS:
Former deputy headteacher Andrew Cowley, speaks about wellbeing in schools, for staff and for children.
He is the co-founder of the Healthy Toolkit blog and Twitter account, the most followed teacher wellbeing initiative on Twitter. He promotes the challenging of attitudes and outlooks towards wellbeing, believing it to be a strategic consideration, one that requires planning and anticipation, rather than acting after the event. Andrew can offer practical ways to support teachers with their physical and mental health.
Andrew has also blogged for the Education Support Partnership and BBC Teach and written articles for Teach Primary Magazine. During the first lockdown he co-authored The Weekly Wellbeing Toolkit, a free-of-charge digital newsletter offering support for children and families as well as for school staff at this challenging time. Blogging led to more extended writing, and Andrew is the author of The Wellbeing Toolkit, promoting strategic and values-led staff wellbeing and of The Wellbeing Curriculum, which develops a holistic approach to wellbeing for primary school. Both books are published by Bloomsbury Education.
Now retired from school, Andrew is available for wellbeing focussed CPD in schools, lessons and assemblies with children and is also a coach for the School Mental Health Award.
Rooted in practical ideas that are working well in UK schools, this guide to teacher wellbeing is an incredible helping hand for teachers and school leaders looking to enable staff to thrive and strive
