Course Content

It is important to teach well, but it is also important to keep well. The course is all about wellbeing, tailored specifically for those involved in learning and teaching.

Each week we will explore a topic related to wellbeing or a teaching style that can support wellbeing. We will provide a short input at the beginning of the session and then as a group we will consider how that topic/teaching style can be put into practice to support enhanced staff wellbeing.
