Schooling has long been held responsible for the health and well-being of children. However, against an international background of rising concern about students' performance and well-being, schools and teachers have faced escalating expectations of their health-related work. While various stakeholders have ideas about what teachers' health work entails, we know little about teachers' contributions, engagement, and personal satisfaction with this work. As teachers' work represents a significant national investment, insight into the cost-benefit of teachers' health work is vital to establishing the broader economic contribution of schools to society.
Teachers as Health Workers offers a critical perspective on these matters, documenting the day-to-day work of Australian teachers as they grapple with the challenges and joys of balancing education and health-related responsibilities. While shifts in policy, economics, and globalization influence localised enactment of teachers' health work, the economic modelling, theorizing, and methodological innovations of this research address enduring themes and challenges. Consequently, this book's critical perspective reveals policy-practice gaps in government strategies seeking to create a healthy and productive population.
The book will inform education, health, and industrial policies and provide direction for teachers' initial or ongoing preparation as health workers.
