  • Promoting Teachers Well-being through Positive Behavior Support in Early Childhood Education , European Union , 03/2021 - 02/2024 See More...

    The focus of this policy experiment is to develop evidence-based policies and practices to enhance the teaching profession and improve the teacher quality and their careers in ECEC settings, by focusing on Positive Education and Positive Behaviour Support. The policy measure to be tested is a whole school program and staff development, informed by two well researched bodies of work: (1) Positive education and promoting teacher well-being and (2) School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework. The main hypothesis is that enhancing the participating early childhood teachers’ well-being and building their skills to design and implement the SWPBS framework, will have a positive impact on their professional well-being, job satisfaction, self-efficacy and will reduce their burnout levels. A randomized wait-list controlled trial will be conducted. The proposed intervention will be implemented with 60 ECEC settings, 300 early childhood teachers and 2000 children in four countries (Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Romania).
