More than 1 in 4 Australian teachers suffers from emotional exhaustion after starting their careers and expect to leave the profession within the first 5 years of teaching.

But creating an environment that welcomes uniform responses to behavior choices will support each student’s understanding of expectations. Unchanging rules and regulations ensure that students and families understand classroom norms and know what to expect when those norms are not met. ..................

Consistency is Key
Consistency is Key
Consistency is critical to creating space for effective learning environments. Students are able to participate in learning more effectively when they have a clear understanding of classroom procedures and their importance. If students can name the expectations and receive consistent responses to their behavior they are in better control of their actions. Classroom expectations are important to academic achievement—consistent learning environments allow students to really thrive academically by providing time and space to focus on the academic material.

HEALTHY CULTURE Leadership and Staff Wellbeing.
Leaders can act to improve the mental health of all service or school staff by looking at the cultural, structural and environmental factors within their learning community that might support or hinder staff wellbeing.
They can then protect and enhance what works well and develop new approaches as required. These actions can form part of a staff wellbeing plan. This can include:
building a culture of help-seeking that includes all staff
reviewing and implementing strategies, structures and processes to minimise work-related stressors
providing resources to help staff build their sense of self-efficacy
encouraging and improving connectedness with children, young people and colleagues
ensuring staff receive appropriate recognition for their work
providing clear lines of referral to the Employee Assistance Provider (EAP), union representative, wellbeing representative and external agencies
providing staff opportunities for individual growth and personal development
implementing workplace legislative requirements.
Ideally, the staff wellbeing plan should be integrated into a whole-setting approach to mental health that looks at the wellbeing of all learning community members.
