Trainer notes

In groups, participants mind map simple measures they could implement to thread wellbeing throughout the teaching day from the question on slide 6. Give a few examples such as:

Have a bottle of water with you at all times. Sip from it regularly.
Start each lesson with a two-minute wellbeing technique of your choice.
If pupils get fidgety, stop the lesson, invite them to stand up and stretch and take three deep breaths – this will help the teacher as much as the pupils.

Ask groups to feed back, and note ideas on a flipchart for the wellbeing forum.
