Responding to Teacher Quality Through an Evidence-Informed Wellbeing Framework for Initial Teacher Education

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Teacher Education in Globalised Times

Abstract

The OECD reports that 99% of teachers believe that student wellbeing is important. However, pre-service teachers are challenged as they enter the teaching profession, as many do not associate discipline-specific learning and teaching with wellbeing and they are not well equipped with strategies to influence belonging and engagement. We ask, how can initial teacher education programs integrate an evidence-informed wellbeing framework in pre-service teachers’ education as a response to global issues? Rather than focusing on the content of a wellbeing framework, or the pre-service teacher wellbeing this chapter outlines the process to create an evidence-informed wellbeing framework in pre-service teachers’ education. We argue for a two-step method, Stage 1—Appreciative inquiry process—at the strategic level and Stage 2—Carpe Diem process—at the program level. The purpose is to develop meaningful connections between wellbeing topics, points of discussion with pre-service teachers, and links to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
