We’ve got to build positive school cultures if we want teachers to be able to thrive. If you’re looking to boost morale, promote well-being and increase motivation, here are some ideas you can use yourself, with your team or for the whole staff body.
I’m out to help teachers feel good and teach at their best. I believe that we can achieve this through four key areas:
Being purposeful - Having intent behind our actions and connecting with what’s important with us to stay motivated
Being in control - Focusing on what’s within our locus of control and building helpful habits into our daily routines
Being inspired - Being a learner at heart, open to new ways of doing things, taking opportunities to grow and keeping our teaching ‘fresh’
Knowing we’ve done enough - Valuing ourselves and fostering a school culture of positivity and celebration where we are all happy and proud to call ourselves teachers.
It’s a shame that ‘well-being’ initiatives and activities have a reputation for ‘missing the mark’ or feeling tokenistic because we have an undeniable need to see more of them in our schools. We’ve got to get the talk going, engage in authentic experiences and really build well-being into our school cultures so it’s a given - not a bonus.
I hope you find this resource helpful and that, at the very least, it sets the wheels in motion for building a community of happy and supportive teachers at your school. Together let’s make schools the positive environments they should be and make teaching the uplifting experience we all want it to be.
Go well, team! ☺

Check out these editable name labels, inspired by Burano, Venice! Simply type your students’ names, print and laminate!
This resource comes in a range of colour schemes and the option to edit the text and background colour on Google Slides. All of the artwork is original hand drawn pieces based on the photos I took on my whistle-stop trip to Burano!
The four different colour schemes to choose from are: Brights, Blush, Bright Pastels, and Cools. You will also find a black & white version which just has the outlines so that your students can customise their own name labels!
The start of term is always hectic but is also a super exciting time to recreate your classroom space for your next group of students! If you’re after some more travel-inspired classroom deco, check out these other products also inspired by Burano:
