Language Teacher Wellbeing – A Positive Psychology Approach
Katarzyna Budzińska
Summary
This talk presents a study of a well-functioning institution, examining the systemic and contextual factors that contribute to the flourishing of its teachers. The presentation will begin with background information, followed by a description of the methodology, and will conclude with the results and discussion. The findings highlight several variables that affect teacher wellbeing at the institutional level, including corporate culture, policies, organizational structure, management practices, opportunities for professional development, social life, and access to resources and quality physical working conditions.
