Wellbeing Webinar with Dr Helen Street – Educating with Resilience
One of the most fundamentally important drivers of student wellbeing, positive behaviour and learning engagement, is the quality of staff: student relationships. The more effectively and meaningfully teachers connect with their students, the more their students feel well, behave well and learn well. Dr Helen Street will deliver this online webinar on Wednesday 12 March from 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm ADST.
It is, however, undeniably difficult for teachers to invest in healthy relationships with their students, if their own wellbeing and capacity for resilience is constantly challenged.
In this online presentation, Helen will explore the notion of what it means to be a resilient educator in Catholic schools, in 2025. In so doing she will offer ideas and strategies to help educators build both their capacity for resilience and their ongoing wellbeing.
Most notably, Helen will propose four key approaches to day-to-day educator life.
These approaches will focus on:
- Developing inner calm and a strong sense of ‘who you are’ as an educator.
- Learning to differentiate daily classroom goals from long-term measures of success.
- Understanding healthy staff: student relationships with boundaries.
- Trusting your ability to teach well in an uncertain world.
