Workshop 3: “I know what’s best for the child”: The Art of Effective Parent Communication, 22 January 2016.
The school environment is an ideal place to begin the work of addressing mental health needs. Not only does the school offer a simple and cost-effective way of reaching youth, but it is also a convenient place where mental health can be linked with other aspects of health, such as physical health and nutrition, and with learning.
This is a small non supported presentation I put together to help open the door on Mental Health issues with young people aimed at ages12-18. All information is taken from the NHS or other accredited sites. It is for awareness and not a medical tool, as I am no professional in this area. Any feed back is welcome and please bare in mind it is awareness based information only and I have kept it simple and straight forward for easy of those receiving the information. There is an additional handout with useful information and contact details
Addressing mental health issues in school is very important because 1 in every five children have a diagnosable behavioral, emotional, or mental health disorder, and 1 in every ten young people have a mental health issue that is severe enough to impair how they function at school, home or in the community. So, it is vital to keep kids aware of mental health issues in their early school days. Being one of the top schools of Jodhpur, we encourage our students to recognize mental health issues, fight with them, and spread the information. For more details to get your child enrolled with us, call us on 9460251976. Visit @ https://vidhyashram.edu.in/.

Literary activist Audre Lorde once declared, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence. It is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” Self-care is often an afterthought for social justice activists. The same is true in the movement for education reform. Every child and their family deserve equitable opportunities to learn and live well, and educators and advocates work tirelessly in service of that belief. No question: it’s in our nature to nurture. At home, at work, in the classroom and in our communities, we selflessly take care of everyone else before ourselves—if at all. But it is critical to remember that sustaining this depth of leadership requires sustaining ourselves.
In a society that defines strength by one’s capacity to survive, the broad messages we receive about caring for ourselves are to toughen up through overwhelming circumstances and that it is only when we suffer the inevitable burn out that we should make time for self-care. This interactive workshop will explore the responsibility we have to connect self-care with leading change. Participants will learn:
• how pop culture, race, and gender shape our ideas about when, how and why to care for ourselves • how to develop unapologetically selfish, specific approaches to personal sustainability; and
• how to support each other through our intersecting journeys.

CHAPTER 16
Succeeding in Your Teacher Education Program, and Beyond
Teacher Interview: Amber Velasquez
Amber Velasquez is a second-grade teacher at Chandler Oaks Elementary School, in Round Rock, Texas. Ms. Velasquez is in her second year of teaching. She grew up in Round Rock, did her student teaching in the school district, and is now a second-year teacher. From the time I was 5 years old I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went to school in Round Rock, graduated from there, and now I teach there.
What is your school like?
The school has grades K–5 and is in its second year with 600-plus students. Our families are middle and upper class, depending on where they live. The two-story building is brand new, with lots of technology. Our district has a contract with Dell, a big company in Austin, so we have lots of technology.
We have windows on the outside of each classroom. They are fairly big. We also have windows looking into the hallway. The school expectation is that your blinds are always up for the windows looking outside and the ones facing inside. In many ways you are teaching in a fish bowl!
All six of the second-grade classroom doors face a big central area called the “Village.” This area is an extension of our classrooms. The Village houses technology including a big document camera and Smart Board that we can use for grade-level presentations and lessons. Each classroom has a bathroom, so there are no big bathroom breaks. Also, there is a back walkway joining each classroom.
What advice do you have for teacher education candidates?
Let me fast forward to something I wish I had known: I just want to share that this profession is a changing profession. There are going to be lots of trends that happen. There is going to be a lot of curriculum that you will learn is the “right way,” and the only way during your teacher preparation classes. Then you will learn that in the real world it will be taught in a different way.
Best practice is a growing practice. It is OK to feel passionate about the way a curriculum is taught, but you still need to be knowledgeable about other ways to deliver the same curriculum. Set high expectations for yourself as a personal learner. As you move closer to securing a teaching position and even after you have obtained one, seek out professional development opportunities, conferences, seminars, and books. The pressure of learning best practice increases once you earn your license. Hold yourself accountable for meeting your learning expectations.
To what extent are parents involved in your school?
Our parents are very involved. They are on campus all the time. If teachers have something they need done, such as a bulletin board, copies, or something cut out, a parent will volunteer to do that for you. There is a room called the Pro Center. Parents can work on projects there. What is wonderful about utilizing parent volunteers is that a teacher can spend her time working on things that are more academi ...

Thái Dương Thiên Thần chính là Ánh Sáng nội tâm, Cái Tôi cao hơn, Linh Hồn của bạn, Vị Chân Sư đầu tiên của bạn. Ngài đã ở bên bạn suốt nhiều kiếp sống cho đến khi bạn đạt tới sự làm chủ và hướng tới tâm thức Chân Ngã. Chỉ khi đó, Ngài mới hoàn thành công việc của mình.
Trong buổi chia sẻ tháng này, chúng ta sẽ cùng tìm hiểu câu chuyện về Vị Thầy Nội Tâm bên trong mỗi người, nhiệm vụ của Ngài và cách làm sao để tiếp xúc với Ngài. Chúng ta cũng sẽ nói về cuộc hôn nhân thiêng liêng, những người không có Thái Dương Thiên Thần và những người đánh mất Linh Hồn.
Cầu mong sự hiểu biết này sẽ giúp mỗi người có thêm nhiều hứng khởi trên con đường tinh thần.

Hoa Sen Chân Ngã (Thể nguyên nhân, Karana Sarira, Chén Thánh, Đền Thờ của Solomon, Linh Hồn Thể) là một phương tiện bán thường tồn (hiện hữu qua nhiều kiếp sống) trên cõi thượng trí và là nguồn gốc của xung lực tái sinh.
Sau khi chết, chúng ta trải qua nhiều giai đoạn biến đổi khác nhau. Tâm thức chúng ta dành một quãng thời gian trụ trong thể cảm xúc, sau đó nó tan rã và chết đi, rồi tiếp tục trong thể trí nó cũng tan rã và chết đi. Sau đó, chúng ta quay trở lại HOA SEN CHÂN NGÃ trên cõi thượng trí – ngôi nhà của linh hồn (hay là linh hồn thể) - để hấp thu hoàn toàn tất cả những gì mà lần nhập thế vừa qua thu gặt được và lên kế hoạch cho lần nhập thế sắp tới.
Trong những chu kỳ dài hàng ngàn kiếp sống, HOA SEN CHÂN NGÃ được xem như là Chén Thánh nơi lưu giữ các tinh túy từ mỗi kiếp sống, chứa đựng tất cả những gì được yêu thương và quý giá của con người, tất cả mọi thành tựu của các thế kỷ, tinh túy của tình yêu, kiến thức thực sự và phụng sự.
Với sự giúp đỡ của vị thần trông nom của chúng ta, Đấng Thái Dương Thiên Thần một ngày nào đó, linh hồn sẽ chói rạng trong sinh mệnh nhỏ bé của con người. Lúc HOA SEN CHÂN NGÃ sẽ bị thiêu hủy và tất cả những phẩm tính và chất liệu của nó sẽ được thăng hoa và chuyển hóa vào Tam Nguyên Tinh Thần. Con người đạt được giải thoát khỏi tam giới thấp và không cần phải luân hồi nữa trừ phi vì thôi thúc hy sinh hay phụng sự.
Trong buổi chia sẻ tháng này, chúng ta sẽ cùng nhau tìm hiểu về HOA SEN CHÂN NGÃ, về cấu tạo, sự khai mở, chức năng và các định luật liên quan.
Cầu mong sự hiểu biết này sẽ giúp mỗi người có thêm nhiều hứng khởi trên con đường tinh thần.

Tiềm thức thuộc các cấp độ cõi trí chìm dưới ngưỡng ý thức. Đó là kho lưu trữ các bản ghi của tất cả những trải nghiệm của chúng ta trong vô thức, vốn chứa đựng phần lớn những thôi thúc, mệnh lệnh tiêu cực và gắn liền với nhiều ảo ảnh, ảo cảm, ảo tưởng. Phần lớn cuộc sống của đa số chúng ta đang bị vận hành bởi tiềm thức và bị chi phối bởi những nội dung tự động trồi lên khi có một liên hệ kết nối với chúng. Tiến bước trên đường Đạo là từ từ xua tan những nhân tố tiềm thức này và làm sạch kho chứa tiềm thức. Tiến bước trên đường Đạo là hành động, suy nghĩ, cảm nhận và nói năng trong ánh sáng của Linh Hồn. Chỉ khi các nhân tố thuộc tiềm thức được xua tan thì ta mới có tự do thực sự.
Trong bài chia sẻ này, chúng ta sẽ cùng bàn luận:
Tổng quan về sự mở rộng tâm thức trên cõi trí và các dạng tâm thức
Các nhân tố chứa trong tiềm thức và sự trỗi dậy của tiềm thức
Tâm lý tự trừng phạt và cách hóa giải
Tinh linh, thực thể chiếm hữu trong các “tưởng tượng” tiêu cực và cách ngăn chặn chúng
Nhận diện và chuyển hóa, giải phóng tiềm thức.

ANTAHKARANA - CÂY CẦU VỒNG ĐẾN VĨNH CỬU
“Con không thể đi trên Đường Đạo nếu con chưa trở thành chính Đường Đạo đó.” (Helena Blavatsky, “Tiếng Nói Vô Thinh”)
Lời giảng từ Kim Huấn Thư này chứa đựng một sự thật huyền linh bí ẩn và sâu sắc, "trước khi một người có thể bước trên Thánh Đạo, y phải trở thành chính Thánh Đạo đó."
Trên cõi trí, có một khoảng cách bên trong tâm thức con người vốn phân chia tâm thức phàm ngã với tâm thức linh hồn và sự sống chân thần. Đây là khoảng cách giữa hạ trí và thượng trí. Khoảng cách này cuối cùng phải được nối liền để con người có thể đạt được khai sáng và giác ngộ.
Đường nối liền đó là ANTAHKARANA, còn được gọi là “cây cầu vồng”, hay Thánh Đạo trong nội tâm.
Đây là con đường thực sự dẫn đến linh hồn và xa hơn thế nữa, đến chân thần. Trên con đường này, các phẩm chất của linh hồn sẽ dần được biểu hiện.
Trong bài chia sẻ này, chúng ta cùng tìm hiểu
➡ Cấu tạo đường Antahkarana - cây cầu vồng tâm thức
➡ Xây dựng đường Antahkarana
➡ Tác dụng của việc kiến tạo đường Antahkarana lên cuộc sống.

NHỮNG CỘT MỐC TRÊN ĐƯỜNG ĐẠO
Các cuộc điểm đạo là những cột mốc đánh dấu những bước phát triển quan trọng trên Đường Đạo, đây là một chủ đề thiết yếu trong Triết Học Nội Môn. Mỗi cuộc điểm đạo chính có thể được xem như một cánh cổng dẫn tới sự khai sáng giác ngộ và giải thoát. Mỗi cuộc điểm đạo biểu thị rằng linh hồn đã làm chủ được một khía cạnh của phàm ngã và dần dần cuối cùng đạt tới trở thành một Chân Sư Minh Triết.
Trong bài chia sẻ này, chúng ta sẽ tìm hiểu tổng quan về đường đạo và đi sâu vào bốn cuộc điểm đạo quan trọng, những thách thức cũng như sự thay đổi tâm thức kèm theo đó.
Hy vọng rằng tấm bản đồ hành trình tâm linh này sẽ hữu ích, giúp chúng ta có thể soi chiếu, tự nhận biết và chuẩn bị tâm thế cho mình trên con đường dài nhiều chông gai nhưng cũng đầy ý nghĩa và vinh quang phía trước.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

About Daniela Falecki 27
Congratulations for choosing you.
I know you care about students and
you love teaching but sometimes we
need to take a moment for ourselves,
so well done for making that decision
and downloading this Ebook.
Can I also say
YOU ARE AMAZING!
Stop rolling your eyes, you are.
WELCOME
Did you know you can be involved in
up to 1000 interpersonal contacts a
day? So, if you feel like the world has
emotionally vomited on you at the
end of each day, it has. Teaching is
an emotional vocation where we get
mentally tired with all the decisions we
have to make in a day.
What we, as teachers need, is some
time out for ourselves, to have specific

strategies to restore our own energy
and evidence-based tools to maintain
our wellbeing, All for the purpose of
being our best possible self for students.
As a teacher for more than 20 years I
know all too well the ups and downs we
experience on a day to day basis and
the need for us to better support our
own wellbeing. I know what it is like to
have students demand your attention,
parents demand your time, and the
system demand your paperwork.
This ebook is for YOU the teacher,
who gives their all, who stays up late
cutting up coloured paper for activities,
laminates new resources and ideas,
and spends weekends researching
and planning engaging lessons. You’re
tired but you do it anyway, your partner
doesn’t know why you get so frustrated
and society thinks you work 9-3.
So, what are the foundations of teacher
wellbeing?
Just as we don’t become fit by going to
the gym once, we cannot maintain our
wellbeing with one-off activities such as
the annual staff BBQ. We need to be
more conscious about our decisions,
more aware of our choices and more
active in planning effective and
purposeful wellbeing habits.
In this ebook, I will be sharing with
you some simple, yet effective
strategies to support your wellbeing
based on the following 5 domains;
1. Cognitive wellbeing
How we think
2. Emotional wellbeing
How we cope
3. Social wellbeing
How we connect
with others
4. Physical wellbeing
How we move, sleep
and eat
5. Spiritual wellbeing
How we connect to our
values and beliefs of
meaning and purpose
So, let’s get started in building

THE FACTS
WHY PRIORITIZE
YOUR WELLBEING?
Did you know teachers can be involved
in 1000 interpersonal connections a
day? (Holmes 2005). The quality of
these interactions can either diminish
or enhance wellbeing. In fact teachers
are among those professionals with the
highest levels of job stress and burnout
across many countries. (Stoeber, J., &
Rennert, D, 2008).
Growing research is showing that not
only are beginning teachers struggling
as they enter the profession but
experienced teachers are increasingly
becoming burned out, including that
of Principals. In the recent Australian
Principal Occupational Health, Safety
and Wellbeing Survey (2016), the two
leading causes of stress were;
- Sheer Quantity of Work, and
- Lack of Time to Focus on Teaching
and Learning
In other studies, common stressors
include school systems becoming
increasingly more bureaucratic, greater
service delivery demands in the form of
heavy workloads with fewer resources.

THE FACTS
WHY PRIORITIZE YOUR WELLBEING?
Teachers are expected to manage
difficult student behaviour including
violence and lack of student motivation.
Teachers are stretched with a lack
of planning time coupled with an
increased emphasis on accountability
(Jennifer Curry, 2012).
The changing nature of society expects
schools to address social justice,
promote a sense of belonging, build
resilience and keep abreast of mass
media influences which fuels unrealistic
expectations of teachers. (Mccallum &
Price, 2010).
A summary of the 10 main causes of teacher stress
can be seen in the picture below.
6. On a personal level, I know what it is like
to repeat the same conversations with
students each day, juggle curriculum
to meet outcomes, manage individual
staff and their diverse personalities,
communicate with parents in helping
them understand their children, all
while running from meeting to meeting
to document every decision made.
While I was passionate about teaching,
the area I had little time to focus on was
planning engaging lessons with real-life
experiences for my students.
When learning to be a teacher, we
get taught great skills in how to plan
curriculum, differentiate learning, asses
and report, but we do not learn how to
manage different personality types, how
to coach, mentor or simply navigate
our own emotions let alone manage
those of others. As a result, we have to
draw on our own social and emotional
resources to remain resilient. The
problem here is that if we do not have
direct or solution focused strategies to
manage our own stress, we may turn to
destructive strategies that simply relieve
the emotional stress such as food and
alcohol, however these do not support
our wellbeing as they do not address the
specific issues (Parker, 2012).

THE FACTS
WHY PRIORITIZE YOUR WELLBEING?
7. If teachers have strategies to support
their wellbeing, they will be better
placed to manage every day stressors
of the job to not only survive but flourish.
In doing so, they become better role
models and educators for our students.
Teachers themselves recognise that
focussing on their own wellbeing is
crucial in supporting student wellbeing,
(Sue Roffey, Wellbeing Australia, 2012),
but are often unsure as to how to do
this. The growing evidence coming
from the field of Positive Psychology is
showing how we can not only support
student wellbeing but that of teacher
wellbeing as well.
Successful teacher wellbeing
interventions include;
• Reflection strategies for
insight into professional
practice
• Mindfulness training to
manage stress
• Emotional management
strategies to restore
• Coaching psychology to
build learning communities
• Growth Mindset approaches
to solving problems
• Self-care practices to restore
when needed
• Celebrate achievements
and success to feel valued

GETTING STARTED - START WHERE YOU ARE
Teachers are very good at assessing student learning, but when is the last
time you actually thought about your own wellbeing to assess where you are
right now? Knowing and improving your wellbeing is important because your
stress levels can have an 8% variance on students’ academic performance
(Teacher Support Network, UK, 2007).
Anyway, enough theory and talking for now, lets be proactive and take some
positive action.
Below you will find a set of questions for you to answer that encourage you to think
about you and how you manage the everyday stresses you face at work.

the support you receive from staff and
the partnerships you have with parents?
Don’t brush over this concept too
quickly. It is important to sit with this
and deeply reflect on the types
of conversations you have in the
staffroom. Are you the person whinging
all the time? Or the person celebrating
successandachievements?Areyouthe
person dampening others enthusiasm
with comments like “we’ve tried that
before and it didn’t do anything”, or are
the you the person who encourages
growth and new ideas? Of course, the

put a percentage on your positive to

HOW DO
YOU COPE?
The first foundation of wellbeing is
Cognitive Wellbeing.
Cognitive wellbeing refers to your
mindset and ability to cope with the
cognitive demands you face.
Did you know you have 60,000 thoughts
a day, and these are usually the same
60,000 thought you had the day before
and the same before that. You see,
your thoughts are not passive words
that just roll through your head, they are
powerful waves that direct your focus
and your attention.
We have choices every moment to
think about what is working well or what
isn’t. In a teaching day there is so much
that happens and if we do not be more
conscious of our thoughts, they become
unconscious habits. So, my question
to you is this? Are you someone who
is always focussed on what is going
wrong in a school day, eg, students
misbehaving, staff underperforming
and parents demanding? Or are you
someone who focusses on the small

Set yourself a timer and spend 2 minutes
making a list of all the challenges you
face at work. Use the full amount of

Now, repeat the same exercise but this

well at your school. Again, use the full 2

FOUNDATION 2
HOW
DO YOU
RESTORE?
The next foundation of wellbeing to
consider is Emotional Wellbeing
Emotional wellbeing is closely related
to emotional intelligence which refers
to our ability to identify, manage
and use our emotions in responsible
and respectful ways. This means
acknowledging our feelings, not
hiding them, and being able to own
our feelings, not blaming others for our
circumstances.
I remember there being many days
where I was a little emotional pressure
cooker, trying to remain professional,
in control and respectful when
sometimes all I want to do was scream
or slap people in the face with a big
wet fish. Either way, it was me and my
emotions that I needed to manage. If
I didn’t, I became one of the people
that Blythe Rowe calls the bullies,
bludgers or blamers.
Speak to any teacher and they will tell
you they do what they do because
they care. Caring is an emotion and
teaching is an emotional vocation
that can be draining if we do not have
strategies to switch off and restore the
energythatwegivetoothers.However,
research tells us that teachers tend
to turn to negative strategies such as
food, alcohol, caffeine or emotional
withdrawal as a means for managing
their emotions. The problem here, is
that these are not restorative practices
and only perpetuate the problem.
Given that you as a teacher spend
so much time pouring your energy
outwards, research in the area of
mindfulness tells us, that taking a
few moments to go inwards, can be
extremely beneficial. Mindfulness
is the act of being present without
judgement of what is happening, it
is being aware and observing our
thoughts. Some people think it is a
Buddhist tradition, yet mindfulness has
existed for centuries in many different
forms. But mindfulness is not just
meditation, it is more than this. It means
stopping, being present, focussing

Set yourself a time to become
more mindful each day. This may
involve doing a walking meditation
whilst on playground duty (http://
liveanddare.com/walking-meditation/),
a breathing meditation before going to
bed (https://smilingmind.com.au), or a
focussed attention exercise whilst driving
home in your car (as you drive simply list
in your mind all the things you see in front
of you – as your mind wanders, bring it
back to what you see in the now).
Remember the purpose here is to give
energy back to yourself by stopping,
breathing and bringing your attention
to your own body as well as the here
and now. It means stopping thinking
about everyone else and everything
you have to do, and prioritising yourself
for 5 minutes a day. There is no right way
for practicing mindfulness or meditation,
find your way and have fun with it.

on our breath and restoring our own
energy cup. Today, mindfulness has
attracted a lot of scientists to research
the impact meditation can have on the
brain. Mindfulness activities have been
shown to positively support teachers
to better manage stress and increase
resilience. The book “Mindfulness for
Teachers” by Patricia A. Jennings, has
extensive research and resources if you
want to know more.

HOW DO YOU CONNECT
WITH OTHERS?
The next step on our wellbeing
journey is exploring the foundation of
Social Wellbeing.
Of all the dimensions of wellbeing, this
is actually the one that teachers do
best. We connect in the staffroom, we
gather at social functions and greet
each other warmly. But let’s face it,
there is always that one staff member
who grates on your nerves, who seems
to think differently to you and who is
just plain weird. However, the majority
are pretty supportive and when times
are tough people tend to rally around
and help each other.
As teachers, we are all about giving
and sharing with others, whether this
be with students, parents or colleagues,
however it is the type of connection we
havethatmatters.Infact,ChrisPeterson,
one of the founding fathers of Positive
Psychology is well known for advocating
that “other people matter”. Wellbeing
is not something that is isolated to our
own inner experience but comes from
the types of connections we have with
others as well.

STEP
18 www.teacher-wellbeing.com.au
Spend the next week praising a
colleague once a day with positive
feedback. We do this all the time with
students, but how often are we really
doing it with colleagues? I don’t mean
tokenistic praise either, I mean, real
and genuine acknowledgement of
tasks completed, effort applied and
time spent on meeting requirements
or outcomes. Start to notice the
types of connections you are having
with colleagues, are these based
on positive feedback or negative
feedback? Notice people’s responses,
are there any changes? If so what?
“Be Kind; Everyone
You Meet is Fighting a
Hard Battle” - Plato
Thechallengehowever,isthatwehave
a natural negative bias where we are
trained to look for the negative. This
means we more easily look for what is
wrong than what is right. Add to this the
fact that teachers are trained to give
feedback on how to improve, which
usually involves noticing weakness
and areas for development, as we
have a staffroom where colleagues
are highlighting errors instead of
achievements and weakness instead
of instead of strengths. For example,
I would spend hours upon hours
preparing an excursion, only to
have 4 people tell me there is one
typo in my permission note. People
rarely acknowledge all the things
you have done in their feedback,
instead highlighting what you haven’t
done. This is a deficit-based model
of feedback instead of a strength-
based model of giving feedback.
John Gottman, an expert in the field
of relationships has identified we need
to give more positive feedback to
others than negative in order for a
relationship to remain stable. He calls
this the 5:1 Relationship ratio.
So, what can you do?

HOW DO
TREAT YOUR
BODY?
Let’s move onto the next foundation of
wellbeing, Physical Wellbeing.
Physical wellbeing refers to our decisions
and actions when it comes to exercise,
eating and sleeping. But before you roll
your eyes, I’m not going to tell you to go
to the gym, but what I am going to say is
cut back on the sugar.
Did you know sugar can directly
influence your mood, your energy, your
heart rate and your brain? Check out
the facts about sugar and the impact it
is having on your wellbeing
http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/
how-sugar-affects-your-body
Still not convinced, “That Sugar
Film” (https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=6uaWekLrilY), showcases the
real-life impact sugar has on our bodies
and it’s not from lollies. It’s the hidden
sugars that matter. So, as teachers, let’s be
more mindful with the snacks we put out
at morning tea. Let’s put down the muffin
and pick up the fruit? or sustained energy
protein hit? Plan your diet better and it will
have a dramatically positive impact on
your mood, energy and thinking capacity.
According to the American Heart
Association (AHA), we should only
be having 25 grams of sugar a day (6
teaspoons), yet most of us are having
15 teaspoons or more. Remember the
point here is to encourage you to be
more mindful of your choices.
And yes……. We need to move more.
Moving helps oxygenate our blood,

WHAT LEGACY DO YOU LEAVE?
23 www.teacher-wellbeing.com.au
Well, here we are at the final stage
of building our wellbeing habits. To
conclude our foundations, we reflect on
our Spiritual Wellbeing. This refers to your
sense of meaning and purpose, and is
directly related to your values and beliefs.
Did you know researchers in the field
of psychology have identified that
happiness and pleasure alone, known as
hedonic wellbeing, is not enough for us
to maintain our wellbeing, we also need
eudemonic wellbeing which refers to
how meaningful and purposeful we feel.
When is the last time you remembered
what drove you to teaching? What do
you love about the job? What is most
important to you as an educator?
As a teacher, I would like to think that
I have inspired every student who has
been in front of me, however, the reality
is probably a bit different. While I know
I have left a lasting legacy with some,
I also know that I have made many
mistakes, said the wrong thing at times.
However, I do know that I love teaching,
am always looking to improve myself as
a person and teacher, and frequently
question my values and beliefs to ensure
I act with integrity and authenticity.

WHAT LEGACY DO YOU LEAVE?

STEP
24 www.teacher-wellbeing.com.au
How do you see your job? Is it a career,
a calling or just a job? Did it start as a
calling and now it’s a job? Or is it still
a calling?
Either way, consider why you do what
you do? What impact have you had on
others over the past few years?
Think about the students’ lives you have
affected in positive ways? How many
children, or perhaps now adults, are
sharing stories around the dinner table
that involve you as a critical factor in
their learning or shaping their identity.
Take a moment to stop and think about
the legacy you have already left and
the legacy you would like to leave in
the future?
Amy Wrzesniewski, Professor of
Organizational Behavior at Yale School of
Management, has identified that people
who view their work as a “job” see it mainly
as a means of income. Those who view it
as a “career” frame work as a stepping
stone along an occupational trajectory.
This who see it as a “calling” are people
who believe in the meaning of the work
they do, regardless of pay or prestige.

himself to teach him the
meaning of life. It is not
something discovered:
it is something moulded”
