Here a summary of "teachers’ well-being: A framework for data collection and analysis"

Context

• High expectations of the teachers' skills
• Changes in their activity (diversity, more administration, less autonomy)
• Stressful working conditions that might affect the quality of instruction and practices, motivation, self-efficacy and job commitment
• Teacher attribution, an internationally recognized problem
• Lower level of attractiveness of the teaching profession
• Growing teacher shortages
• Higher workload for teachers who are currently working
• Lack of resources causing dissatisfaction

Teachers' well-being

• In this context, occupational well-being as a growing issue to better understand current challenges of the teaching profession
• There is a need to better understand the relationship between working condition, well-being, and quality of instruction
• Empirical evidence on the definition of teachers’ well-being and how to measure it is limited (McCallum et al., 2017)
