Nov 2020, Australia: Leaders of Evolution is a student leadership program and course provider. They expertly design e-learning courses that focus on leadership and student-athlete development. Leaders of Evolution strongly emphasizes on the teacher wellbeing and states that it is equally as important as employee’s wellbeing in the organisation.

Leaders of Evolution strives to help improve teacher wellbeing as teacher unhappiness is one of the main drivers behind high teacher turnover around the world, which is currently estimated to an average of around 50% within the first five years of teaching.

Teacher unhappiness in schools directly impacts students and creates discontinuity within a school, causing students to feel abandoned by someone they trust. Consequently, after a teacher leaves, an overworked, over-stressed, or unhappy teacher can have extremely unpleasant and negative impacts on students and school culture. Also, they may not be teaching to the best of their ability, and create a detriment to student wellbeing because they are not fostering a warm and welcoming learning environment.

The experts at Leaders of evolution stress to proactively focus on teacher wellbeing to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. In other words, they highlight that teacher wellbeing is ensuring teachers feel happy, purposeful, and respected by students and coworkers. Also, happy teachers are a key element of the Student Wellbeing Framework. Without invested and caring teachers, students will are unable to receive the support they need to reach their maximum learning potential.

Leaders of Evolution takes pride in supporting teacher wellbeing in the following three ways:

1.They create lesson materials:

All materials are created by experienced professionals and designed in alignment with the Australian Curriculum so teachers can be assured that our courses are of the highest quality.

2.They plan with facilitators:

Facilitators are given access to their own online e-learning course, the Teacher Intro, to gain a better understanding of what to expect from the course and our staff along the way.

3.Their lessons foster positive student-teacher relationships:

All Leaders of Evolution lessons are created to directly relate to the current and future lives of students. 

To sum up,  teacher wellbeing is essential in ensuring the success of the students, both inside and outside the classroom and building a school culture that positively impacts all stakeholders. Without a doubt, it should become a priority for school systems around the world.
