Teachers are at breaking point. It's time to push wellbeing up the agenda. The number of teachers seeking mental health support has risen by 35% in the past 12 months. Many of them are in crisis. The consequence of poor mental health among education staff is a growing recruitment and retention problem.
When secondary school teacher Victoria broke down in front of her class, she realised the stress of the job had got too much. “I became exhausted,” she says. “I stepped into my classroom and instantly knew I couldn’t be there.” She called our charity’s helpline, which offers mental health support to those working in education. She’s just one of 8,668 people to have come to us for help in the past 12 months.

From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, just over a year ago, educators have shown courage, creativity, and determination in helping their students and colleagues through the most difficult time of their lives. This collective experience has changed us as human beings and has dramatically altered the way we teach and learn. Most of these changes both good and bad, are likely to impact education for years to come.
2. SUCCESSFUL TEACHERS INTERNALISE THEIR TEACHING MISSION AND VISION.
Great teachers are set for a mission as they envision making a big difference in their students’ lives. As they envisage a classroom full of optimism and transform it into a positive learning environment, they are channeling their great teaching interests. They internalise their teaching mission and vision.
Great teachers work hard to become highly successful. They are indeed exceptional. To further elaborate on their amazing teaching adroitness and outstanding practices, I gladly present the habits of highly successful teachers that you can imitate.
This article aims to extend and tap the best practices of great teachers as they always lead by their good examples in the teaching field.
Teachers are the single most important factor affecting how much students learn. More than just conduits of information, they equip children with the tools to analyze, problem solve, and effectively use information.
