Amy Green: Teacher wellbeing, creating margin and how to protect what matters most.

Welcome back! In Australia, we are about to begin another year in the classroom.  Don’t the holidays fly? It seems like only a minute ago that we were talking about ‘finishing the year well’ and ‘tying up loose ends in 2022.’ I hope that you have all had a refreshing holiday and that you are ready for a brilliant Term 1. As much as I enjoy the holidays, I start to get really excited to go back and teach. Before we launch into the year ahead, I thought that I would share a recent conversation that I had with the brilliant Amy Green - and no, we are not related. Amy is a former teacher and school leader who is the founder of The Wellness Strategy. She works with individuals and workplaces, to help them understand what well-being is, develop well-being literacy, and to co-design and create well-being strategies and interventions that work.  This is a really important conversation to have at the beginning of the year so that we all can have a more meaningful conversation about well-being.  Her recent book Teacher Wellbeing was a great read and I am so grateful that I got to work with her.  All of Amy’s details are available below in the show notes.  I hope that you enjoy this conversation that I had with Amy Green.   The Art of Teaching Podcast resources:  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/artofteaching Here is the link to the show notes: https://theartofteachingpodcast.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theartofteachingpodcast/
