• assess and reflect on your own job satisfaction and wellbeing, using a satisfaction barometer to identify personal drivers, challenges, and priorities in your professional life,
• explore key factors that influence job satisfaction in teaching, including research-based insights into what makes employees happy and why teachers choose to stay in the profession,
• connect research and lived experience, by engaging with teachers’ stories and analysing how individual, relational, and organisational factors shape job satisfaction.
• examine collaborative approaches to job satisfaction, focusing on professional team culture and resilient teams, and envision characteristics of a school environment in which your own job satisfaction could thrive.

Whether you are working on this module individually or in a group, you will encounter several reflection and transfer questions.

This icon marks activities and tasks for individual learners.

For individual learners, we recommend

• to find a designated space where you collect your key ideas and findings: a notebook, a digital tool (i.e. Padlet, Miro, OneNote, …), etc. (in addition to your Action Plan (read below)).
• if you know of a colleague who completed the same modules like you, to find an opportunity to meet up and share your results (or Action Plans (read below)) with each other.

This icon marks activities and tasks for groups.

For groups, we recommend

• to set up an Idea Hub – for example, a white board, a poster, a table, a digital pinboard (i.e. Padlet, Miro), where you collect key ideas and findings. Decide for yourselves whether, after completing the module, the Idea Hub is meant for your group’s eyes only or if you would like to share or even present your work and experience (e.g. in the teacher’s lounge, during a conference, etc.).
• in addition to each learner’s individual Action Plan, consider setting up a Group Action Plan which can be added to the aforementioned Idea Hub.

This icon marks an Action Plan activity to connect ideas with your own context in your personal Teacher Well-being Action Plan (read more about the Action Plan here).

• Follow the instructions and fill in the corresponding section in your Action Plan. You can download the Action Plan for this module above.
• You do not need to have all the answers right away – the plan is meant to evolve with your learning!
