DEFINING EDUCATOR WELLNESS

School employees encompass a diverse set of positions, including classroom
teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, and school health professionals, as
well as maintenance, food service, and transportation professionals.

Regardless of position, school employee wellness is a multi-dimensional state of
well-being that goes beyond mental and physical health to include factors such
as meaningful work, a sense of belonging, positive relationships, and economic
stability.

At its core, employee wellness is driven by a sense of agency and empowerment:
Efforts to improve wellness are most effective when employees have a voice in
deciding what happens to them at work and can access the skills and resources to
act on those decisions.
