The Framework
The Wellness Solutions for Educators framework is built on the 4 Dimensions of Professional Wellness: physical, mental, emotional, and social. Within each dimension are three corresponding routines aimed at supporting and improving teachers’ efficacy and overall well-being.
Dimension 1:
Physical Wellness—Focuses on food, movement, and sleep routines. Improvement in these areas directly and significantly benefits the other three dimensions.
Dimension 2:
Mental Wellness—Focuses on decision, balance, and efficacy routines. Our high-energy profession requires that we bring our best mental selves to work each day.
Dimension 3:
Emotional Wellness—Focuses on awareness, understanding, and mindfulness routines. Learning to respond rather than react to negative emotions is key to maintaining a positive emotional state.
Dimension 4:
Social Wellness—Focuses on relationship, trust, and purpose routines. Mindful improvement of relationship skills and routines is at the heart of expanding your desired impact as an educator.
The Wellness Solutions for Educators framework represents a continuum of progress—an active and ongoing process toward achieving a positive state of professional wellness that benefits you, your students, and your colleagues.
