Government ministers have been urged to take note of research that suggests there is a significant link between teachers’ health and wellbeing and the examination results of their students.
Pete Henshaw reports. Improving teachers’ health and wellbeing could raise pupil attainment “more readily” than tackling complex factors such as social class, research has suggested. Launched on Monday (September 8), a preliminary paper detailing research commissioned by the Teacher Support Network (TSN) and carried out by Lancaster University’s Work Foundation is calling for a full-scale investigation into the causal links between healthy teachers and student outcomes. Sponsorship is being sought for the work, which will also seek to establish practical methods that schools can implement to promote teachers’ health. The government has also been urged to take note of the study’s early findings and to “focus on policies which address the stresses that teachers already face”.

Emotional intelligence: an integrative meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of emotional intelligence and work attitudes. Our meta-analysis of emotional intelligence (EI) demonstrates that: First, all three types of EI are significantly related to job satisfaction (ability EI: = .08; self-report EI: = .32; and mixed EI: = .39).
Second, both self-report EI and mixed EI exhibit modest yet statistically significant incremental validity (ΔR2 = .03 for self-report EI and ΔR2 = .06 for mixed EI) and large relative importance (31.3% for self-report EI and 42.8% for mixed EI) in the presence of cognitive ability and personality when predicting job satisfaction. Third, we found mixed support for the moderator effects (i.e., emotional labour demand of jobs) for the relationship between EI and job satisfaction.
Teacher Well Being Report. A mixed-methods study of the experiences of teachers who are also parents. Kell, Emma Louise (2016) Shifting identities: A mixed-methods study of the experiences of teachers who are also parents.
Other thesis, Middlesex University. This practitioner-based, mixed methods research explores the influence of parenthood on teacher identity; the challenges involved in combining the roles of teacher and parent, and the benefits of being a teacher-parent. Its original contribution lies in the combination of teacher-as-researcher perspective, its in-depth approach to an issue only fleetingly alluded to in policy literature, and its emphasis on providing a balance of male and female voices.
The aim of the research is to provide a framework which may inform future policies at local and national level and to provide practical advice and guidance for teacher-parents on maximising wellbeing and effectiveness in their dual role. Put your best foot forward: why walking is good for you. Pilates, yoga and the classic treadmill get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy.

Certified fitness professional Jolynn Baca Jaekel explains: “What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet.” A recent report by the Ramblers and Macmillian Cancer Support entitled Walking Works (PDF) details the health benefits of the humble walk.

The impact of volunteering. Random Acts of Kindness. How Random Acts of Kindness Can Benefit Your Health. My daughter and I were on our way back to our apartment when she suddenly slipped on wet concrete in the garage.
She would be confined to a wheelchair and crutches for the next several weeks. A week before her fall, I had severely sprained my left shoulder. I wasn’t able to get her wheelchair into or out of my car without assistance. For weeks, I had to ask random people to help me. I was incredibly touched by how everyone was so helpful, without any hesitation. I know how happy I feel when I get the chance to help others, and by the display of kindness that I received, it seemed that others felt the same way. Research reveals that doing good deeds, or kind acts, can make socially-anxious people feel better. “People who engage in kind acts become happier over time,” says Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside.

6 Ways to Weave Self-Care into Your Workday. Executive Summary Self-care is no longer a luxury for busy leaders; it’s part of the job. But what exactly is self-care and how do you do it? At the heart of self-care is your relationship and connection to self; it means that you understand what you need to be your most constructive, effective, and authentic self. Therefore, rather than defining self-care narrowly as just physical health (which is an important piece of the equation), you need to pay attention to a wider set of criteria, including care of the mind, emotions, relationships, environment, time, and resources.
