Trainer notes

Play Audio 1.2: Exposing your current reality. Repeat the exercise in the same pairs, this time focusing on the reality of your school wellbeing. Invite feedback from each pair after the exercise. Ask what they believe prevents the school from ‘flourishing’ and take notes on the flipchart.

Play Audio 1.3: Building a bridge to the wellbeing vision. Repeat the exercise in the same pairs, this time focusing on the bridge. Discuss the possible steps your school can take to move closer to its vision (being informed from the creative visualisation). Invite feedback from each pair after the exercise. Conclude with an overview of SLT vision, current reality and the action steps towards the wellbeing vision.

Play Video clip 1.1: A Leader’s Perspective. Ask participants to consider what they have learned from hearing about the work done at Eagle House School. Are there any strategies that they could adopt from Eagle House which would contribute to their vision? In particular did they notice how important it was for the school leaders to be actively involved in looking after their own wellbeing?
