For a year, teachers have been talking about ‘Teacher 5 a Day’ (#teacher5aday), a Twitter campaign kicked off by @MartynReah, which asks teachers to put their wellbeing at the top of their to do list. We have used the New Economics Foundation’s research which defines Five Ways to Wellbeing:
Conversations about each aspect are taking place right now and teachers are feeling better because of their actions! it’s a wonderful thing. Just have a look at #teacher5aday to feel inspired…
We want to spread the word further amongst teachers and maybe even influence policy so that teachers stay in the profession to make the world a better place.
This money pays for a limited print run. Once the journal is out there, we want feedback to make the next version better AND we want you to create a buzz in order to raise the profile of this important issue.
This money also helps us to use a professional graphic designer who will make the book look beautiful: an object you value and want to keep close.
We could have taken this project to a publisher, but we want to self-publish in order to keep true to the voices behind the #teacher5aday campaign.
In addition, we believe that the ‘crowd’ is almost more important that the ‘fund’ in the sense that we want our supporters to get involved. We want you to:
Please help us make this project a reality and help us put wellbeing at the forefront of as many busy teacher brains as possible!
Excitingly, other professions are taking the 5aday campaign to their communities. Have a look at #doc5aday led by @DouglasNatusch or #socialworker5aday from @anerrington. Are you in a profession which could benefit from such a campaign? We would love support you, so get in touch.
