Promoting Wellbeing in Secondary Schools

The subject will provide Teacher Candidates with an opportunity to practise and reflect on a range of research-informed interpersonal and pedagogical skills relevant to their role in promoting student and teacher wellbeing within secondary school communities. Current research is used to inform critical analysis of contemporary student wellbeing policies, models, and practices, and to examine key factors contributing to wellbeing and engagement such as teacher-student relationships, social and emotional learning, behaviour management, school-home partnerships and staff wellbeing.
