Teachers' well-being, confidence and efficacy

The Summit now focuses on teachers themselves. There is a growing recognition that for teaching and learning to be at its most effective, teachers should have high levels of well-being, self-efficacy, and confidence. This mirrors increasing evidence that students’ well-being, efficacy, and confidence are vital for their learning. How does teacher well-being relate to teacher effectiveness and student well-being? How should teacher wellbeing feature in priorities for public policy? How can governments, in partnership with teacher unions, create evidence-informed strategies on well-being, efficacy, and effectiveness as part of their teacher policies? This is the theme of the third session of the 2018 International Summit on the Teaching Profession.
