Why Educator Wellbeing Matters

Student success is at the centre of every school's mission but students flourish best when the adults around them are flourishing. Research consistently shows that staff wellbeing directly impacts school culture, classroom climate, and student achievement.

Right now, too many educators are exhausted and feel undervalued, and unsupported. The number of teachers taking sick leave has doubled in the last three years. In the past year, 59% have considered leaving the sector due to wellbeing concerns.

This isn't just a workforce issue — it's a student learning issue. When educator wellbeing suffers, students outcomes suffer too.

I can help you to maximise your own wellbeing and the wellbeing of colleagues in your school to ensure the whole community is flourishing.

Helen's Background

Helen Kelly is committed to helping schools maximise wellbeing and improve school culture. She led international schools in Asia and Europe, until she retired from her work as a principal in 2020. She has been conducting research in the field of educator wellbeing for almost a decade. Prior to becoming an educator, she spent ten years as a lawyer in the field of workplace health and safety.
