Summer’s still in full swing, but the first day of school will be here before you know it. As school and district leaders and their teams start planning for a strong start to the academic year, one key element can make a big difference — supporting the well-being of teachers and staff.
At Thriving Schools, supporting educator well-being is one of our top priorities. Everyone in a school’s community benefits when teachers and staff are thriving. When educators feel supported, they are more likely to stay, which helps leaders maintain a stable school environment. This leads to better student attendance, stronger academic outcomes, and long-term success for students. Maintaining educator retention rates also help leaders make the most of their school budgets.
So, this summer, Thriving Schools is here to help you boost staff well-being, not just for back-to-school, but all year long. Our new calendar of resources includes no-cost tools and resources that anyone can use. Better yet, it’s organized by season, providing options that you can use now and also include in a longer-term, sustainable strategy. Whether you have built a well-being plan or are just getting started, there is something for everyone.
No matter when you head back to school, Kaiser Permanente is here to support all of you. Visit our Thriving Schools resources page for additional information and no-cost tools like case studies, e-Learning, checklists, and more on assorted topics, including teacher and staff well-being.
*Some resources require signing up for a no-cost Healthier Generation Action Center account.
