A Practical Strategy to Avoid Headteacher Burnout with Anne Hudson
"I heard a Headteacher on the radio say "I can't go on", and thought, we've got to do something about this now. (But) how do you actually make a difference to the wellbeing of your Headteacher? That's when I came up with the idea of the short Sabbatical."
Anne Hudson is a human resource professional with over 25 year's experience in HR, much of it working in education with schools.
In this short and incredibly practical episode, Anne shares her thoughts on:
The two likely outcomes if we do nothing to support Headteachers;
How and why she believes a short sabbatical can help;
Why 2-3 weeks is the ideal length;
The difference between a sabbatical and a holiday;
Important contractual considerations, such as why it should be paid;
When is the best time to take a short sabbatical;
How to plan for it and what it should include;
How to communicate to staff and colleagues;
And much more.
Anne has prepared some key documents to help you consider and implement a short Sabbatical for your Headteacher. Please contact her directly using her email below.
And I, as a coach, have prepared two coaching sessions specifically to bookend your Sabbatical, to ensure it achieves your intended purpose. Please contact me directly at maria@pursuit-wellbeing.com
