The third edition of Teacher’s Well-Being Month in Romania is a program that promotes the benefits of teachers’ well-being, both inside and outside of the classroom. This initiative derives from the recognition that teachers’ emotional and social health has a strong positive impact on students’ behavior and academic success.
Throughout the month of February, we will organize a series of online activities dedicated to the teachers, meant to provide them with the necessary support for them to feel comfortable in their role as creators in education and to pass on to students joy, enthusiasm, and positive attitude.
