THE TEACHER WELLBEING GROUP

The Teacher Wellbeing Group is a collaborative initiative that advances the inner wellbeing of teachers and educators worldwide. Through pioneering research and global advocacy efforts, we’re working to build a future of education where wellbeing is fundamentally integrated and prioritized at every level.

We do this in collaboration with the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), an initiative of Qatar Foundation, Duke University (Duke Global Health Institute and Center for Health Policy & Inequalities) and seven global and regional education and caregiving institutions, which are represented typically by their CEOs or other senior leaders.

INAUGURAL RESEARCH REPORT LAUNCH

The Teacher Wellbeing Group at The Wellbeing Project in partnership with WISE Qatar and Center for Health Policy and Inequalities Research at Duke University officially launched an extensive report on teacher wellbeing with case studies from Cambodia, Kenya and Qatar.

KEY FINDINGS

Teachers impact children in a lot of ways, from teaching the lifelong skill of how to learn, to the practical skills to navigate daily life and to modeling healthy, respectful interactions. To optimally teach children, we need teachers with strong wellbeing.

Testimonials REFLECTIONS FROM OUR MEMBERS

“I salute The Wellbeing Project and the Caregivers and Teachers Wellbeing Group for their unrelenting and impassioned commitment and dedication to a long overdue transformation of education. They are working tirelessly to bring the missing third dimension into an antiquated education system no longer fit for purpose, and I am deeply grateful to be a part of their inspiring community.”

Leslee Udwin - CEO and Founder of Think Equal

“It has been a pleasure to work with researchers and other colleagues around the world around the topic of teacher well-being. Being able to understand and collectively help improve how this topic is being addressed in different countries—beyond the dominant places of data collection—gives me an enormous enthusiasm about having research better reflecting the diversity we need to better help teachers all over the world develop the skill of wellbeing.”

Daniela Labra Cardero - Director, Atentamente

“Teachers are the heartbeat of communities across the globe yet their struggles to simply make it through the day are not often recognized. Being a part of the CTW community has represented, however, a beacon of hope. By shining a light on what teachers struggle with and providing insights into how they can be supported to not only remain in the profession but also flourish, the findings of the CTW work suggest a path forward.”
