TEACHER SUPPORT RESEARCH SECTION LAUNCHES
Taking a closer look at the evidence for teacher wellbeing

• Research into the evidence of teacher wellbeing: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the evidence available about teacher wellbeing.
• Teacher Wellbeing: A review of the evidence: In 2008, Teacher Support Research conducted a review of existing research on teacher wellbeing.
• Promoting Teacher Wellbeing in Wales: There is a tangible link between employee wellbeing and effectiveness in the workplace.
• Creating the Conditions for Ambitious, Excellent Schools: With our colleagues in parallel organisations in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the United States of America, we have built a store of knowledge and understanding that can make a real and significant contribution to the quality of education – therefore the educational experience of young people. This is our ultimate aim.
• The Teachers Health and Wellbeing Study in Scotland: In Scotland, as in the rest of Europe and the UK, issues of health and well being have come to be of increasing concern in the contemporary workplace, and no less so in the teaching profession where levels of ill-health retirement and workrelated sickness absence have become perennial concerns.
