SWELL

Teacher Academy

What is SWELL?

The SWELL Academy is a Teacher Academy that focuses on two topics that are interconnected: self-directed learning and wellbeing in education.

Through SWELL, we want to support both future teachers and experienced educators in developing the tools and confidence to take care of their own wellbeing and the one of their students in order to create learning environments where students can feel safe and thrive. 

How will we do it?

Over the next three years, the SWELL partnership will work together to better understand the relationship between self-directed learning, wellbeing, and school culture.

We will:

  • Explore how wellbeing and self-directed learning are currently understood and practiced in different educational contexts across Europe
  • Co-design learning opportunities and training for teachers that connect wellbeing with meaningful, student-centred learning
  • Launch an open online course (MOOC) so that teachers across Europe can explore these ideas and approaches at their own pace
  • Create spaces for educators to exchange experiences, challenges, and ideas
  • Develop practical resources that schools and teachers can use in their everyday work
