UNESCO’s Institute for Information Technologies in Education (IITE) has published the first two briefs in a series, titled “How the Educational Environment and Curricula Contribute to Learners’ Personality Development, Health, and Well-being“ and “Teacher personality potential and well-being as drivers of learners’ personality development, health, and well-being“. These publications are part of the international initiative “Empowering through Education for Health and Well-being in a Learning Environment That Fosters Personality Development,” a collaboration between UNESCO IITE and the Investment in the Future Charitable Foundation which aims to advance teachers’ professional development.
Focus on holistic educational programs
The first brief “How the Educational Environment and Curricula Contribute to Learners’ Personality Development, Health, and Well-being” examines educational programs that prioritise different aspects of promoting health, psychosocial well-being, and the development of learners’ personality potential. It provides descriptions and analyses of these programs, offering insights for policymakers, education specialists, and school leaders at national, regional, and local levels as well as secondary school teachers and principals. The publication aims to support efforts to transform education to meet current challenges. This publication is available for download in Russian and English.
Focus on teachers’ well-being and job satisfaction
The second brief “Teacher personality potential and well-being as drivers of learners’ personality development, health, and well-being” explores personal and school-related factors that affect teachers’ well-being and job satisfaction and recommends diagnostic tools and support practices. Special attention is given to teachers’ personal and professional development, self-efficacy, and collective efficacy. The publication is available for download in: Russian and English.
