Promotion of Teacher’s Wellbeing: Development and Implementation of a Continuous Formation
This article presents the development, implementation and evaluation of a continuous formation program which intended to prevent the teacher’s distress and the promotion of their wellbeing. This program has been developed by using Rebolo’s teacher’s wellbeing/distress analysis framework as well as in the strategies for teacher’s professional realization and development posited by Jesus. This program has been structured by having 12 weekly meetings, 1h30 minutes-long, by utilizing exams, inventories, group dynamics and yarning circles, by offering the teachers aiding in coping mechanisms when dealing to everyday challenges of the workplace. The implementation featured 16 teachers from Rede Estadual de Ensino de Campo Grande state school, MS state, Brazil. The evaluations indicated a decrease in stress levels among said teachers as well as the teacher’s distress levels and, still, a selfrealization of greater wellbeing in and with the workplace.
