Summary
We conduct longitudinal research with educators at all levels of the education system, from early childhood through to tertiary education, to improve our understanding of the relationship between their work environments and health and wellbeing. Our longitudinal research maps many different aspects of educators’ work environments (workload, work demands, relationships at work etc.) and measures several key indicators of mental and physical health. We aim to identify patterns of change in educators’ work and wellbeing and to investigate how work impacts on the health and wellbeing of education professionals.
