Today, we’re going to be taking a closer look at student wellbeing in schools and how you can create a wellbeing framework for your class. Along the way, we also discuss the importance of considering oracy and resilience. We also explore the development of our new primary and lower secondary curriculum and resources. Although the focus of this episode is on primary and lower secondary level, there are tips in here that teachers of all ages can use.
Our host for this episode is Tamsin Hart. She is joined by Dr Ros McLellan, an Associate Professor in Teacher Education at the University of Cambridge; Pauline Stirling, a freelance education consultant and author from the Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Wellbeing teacher's resources; Dr Irenka Suto, Head of Assessment and Research at the Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring at Cambridge; and Sarah Nelson, Curriculum Lead at Cambridge for our Primary and Lower Secondary Wellbeing programme.
