Cambridge Professional Development: Teacher Wellbeing in practice
Sustainable strategies for thriving in today's schools
Date: Sunday 13 September 2026
Venue: King's College International School Bangkok
Cost: £149
If you're interested in continuing the conversation, stay on and explore teacher wellbeing in greater depth with our professional learning workshop.
Teacher wellbeing requires both personal self-awareness and supportive school environments. This practical, one-day professional learning workshop explores the everyday realities of school life, from individual stress and motivation patterns to team culture and workload.
Participants will map their own emotional regulation systems to better understand how they personally experience pressure, achievement, and recovery. By combining individual reflection with practical workplace strategies, this session equips teachers and middle leaders with the tools to manage self-criticism, establish healthier personal boundaries, and foster psychological safety within their teams.
