Teacher wellbeing with Dr Rebecca Collie – disruptions to learning and the role of social support and job demands

Thanks for tuning in to this podcast from Teacher Magazine, the resource for K-12 educators published by ACER, the Australian Council for Educational Research.

I'm Dominique Beach.

Today, I am joined by Dr. Rebecca Colley, Professor of Learning Sciences at Monash University and Adjunct Professor in Educational Psychology at UNSW.

One focus area of her research over the years has been teacher wellbeing.

And in today's episode, Rebecca is going to share findings from a new study of hers that captured annual snapshots of teachers' wellbeing over six years since COVID-19, as well as some of her prior research that explores teachers' job control, demands and resources.

She also shares some practical tips for school leaders supporting teachers through future disruptions in education.

It's a really interesting discussion and will leave you with plenty to reflect on.

Let's jump in.
