Sat, April 15, 11:40am to 1:10pm CDT (11:40am to 1:10pm CDT), Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel, Chicago, Floor: 2nd Floor, Caribbean

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

COVID-19 exacerbated rising student wellness concerns, amplifying teachers’ work in serving and supporting student wellness. These heightened demands to teachers’ practice have implications for their own stress and coping, magnifying individual and contextual factors that inform teachers’ work supporting student wellness. In this session, we present four empirical papers focused on: (1) how teachers perceive their roles of practice to support wellness needs, (2) how preparation and professional learning along with school-based resources inform teachers’ wellness practice, (3) how school-based psychological resources support work stress and teacher burnout, and (4) how school mental health interventions influence teachers’ well-being. Implications for research, practice, and policy will be discussed.
