When it comes to wellbeing, teachers suffer mostly from two interconnected problems – poor mental health, and musculoskeletal pain. The impacts are significant, because teachers cannot do their best, most creative work when they are not physically well. Often, too, because of the stress of their jobs, teachers have grown so used to not being on their best form that they don’t know that they could feel any different.
This active and supportive workshop focuses on musculoskeletal pain and how changing the way that teachers stand, sit, and walk in simple ways can help them to self-manage their physical wellbeing and in turn make some long lasting changes to how the children they teach also take care of their physical wellbeing.
