Teacher and Tutor Well-Being in the FET Environment

Building Psychological Capital in these Challenging Times and The Importance of Emotional and Social Intelligence for Happiness Success and Wellbeing

These resources have been developed by Jacinta Kitt, lecturer on the M.Ed programme in Trinity College Dublin to support those working in education, in these difficult times.
Each audio presentation is accompanied by a set of slides. Ideally, it would be best to listen to the presentation while viewing the slides and the sequence of the slides corresponds with the presentation material.
The main aim of the presentations is to encourage those listening to reflect on their individual situations and try to find some helpful means of sustaining and enhancing personal wellbeing.

To work effectively with learners it is important to take care of your own well-being, as a teacher and tutor. This booklet will explore how you can use the findings and strategies of positive psychology and maximise your own individual potential for happiness and well-being. Taking Care of Your Well-Being for FET Teachers and Tutors was developed by Dr. Marie Rooney on behalf of FESS to support those working in the FET sector. We hope that you find it useful.
