Gaurav Dubay When I entered the teaching profession, I already had 10 years previous management/leadership experience in different industries but it still took another 10 years to get my first SLT position. I had to work more than twice as hard to get noticed; I became a secondary school

Some key takeaways for the book launch tomorrow #1 The THINK framework T-time and timeliness..never waste time, take your time H-holistic approach to MH alongside and astride everything else I-be inclusive in your universal offer N-be non-judgemental K- be knowledgeable

Key takeaway #2 for book launch tomorrow. Context-one size doesn't fit all Culture-what is your 'why' and how do you communicate it? Compassion-without compassion, your commitment to MHWB counts for nothing Community-the 'strong triangle' of staff-children-parents

Interesting article but it's a shame it ignored the great work happening in schools across the UK around defining, prioritising & measuring wellbeing. Well Schools What Works Centre for Wellbeing #BeeWell @AFNCCF The Children's Society all offer clear definitions and ways to improve WB in schools

A short thread about staff #wellbeing 1/n IME too many decisions about wellbeing are based on assumption, speculation, and a false perspective. We all have things going on in our lives. Some share, some don't. It's their decision. Assuming anything is judgemental and prejudiced.

Good wellbeing is based on what we can control. What we can't control is often in the hands of others, hence the need to be empathetic, understanding, supportive and developing a positive workplace culture. 2/n

Everyone possesses a different degree of emotional resilience. Nobody is "fragile", nobody is a "snowflake", nobody is "weak"...they are themselves. 3/n

We all have boundaries. They need respecting. Some people are good "shock absorbers" for colleagues, but they need boundaries respecting too. 4/n

Boundaries being set promotes autonomy Sophie Smith-Tong⎟ Mindfulness for learning, wards off burnout, improves workplace relationships, sets expectations and reduces stress. 5/n

Sophie Smith-Tong⎟ Mindfulness for learning We should be aware of burnout, especially amongst our #teachers because these are the impacts. Schools have a duty of care to their staff, teachers, TAs & other staff. We cannot afford to lose good and empathetic staff. They're the future, our (grand)children's future. 7/n

The Bloomsbury Education Summer Sale is on until 11th July. 30% off all titles, including the wellbeing range. Time to spice up your CPD?

In recent days on social media I've seen HTs, SLT, teachers and parents frustrated at their workplace. OK it's the last few days, but ultimately it's about the culture in the school. Plenty of food for thought in The Wellbeing Toolkit and The School Mental Health Toolkit.

Are you looking after your shock absorbers? Those colleagues who watch your back, take the knocks, look after you without you realising? lnkd.in/eT8j9ksx

The Wellbeing Curriculum is 4 years old today. Amazon only has 2 left, but Bloomsbury Education has plenty. 150 lesson ideas and 10 assembly themes, plus free knowledge organisers for each chapter available from me on request.
