Kia ora koutou,
During the last few weeks it has been a privilege as well as a somewhat exhausting and energising experience to be part of conversations with educators, colleagues and friends across many sectors - about ways to support wellbeing.
Wellbeing for ourselves and those around us (in our own bubble and in our work & school bubbles).
These conversations, combined with the opportunity to facilitate some zoom sessions with teachers and principals around 'Supporting wellbeing as we transition back to school', has provided me with the opportunity to explore and unpack some of the amazing resources^ that have been designed to support staff, students and whānau as they return to school next week.
This overall experience has also pushed me to reflect on What really matters? What is most important? and Why??Leading me to distill my wonderings down to 'my 10c worth in a haiku'!
Supporting wellbeing for self/students/staff/whānau in a haiku...

What is your '10c worth supporting wellbeing haiku'??

How to slow down time
What we are looking at is what we should keep, leave and improve on after this shift in learning. How can we support each other not to fall straight back into the manic rush that is teacher life?

Kia ora Kath,
Many thanks for your post. This is my 10 c around the first day back yesterday for teachers. I got to catch up with a few and these are the keywords that came up. Perhaps not a wellbeing haiku but more of a pulse check around how some of our colleagues might be feeling at the moment.
quiet mute button anxiety excited overwhelm relief
exhausted frustration stressful
So the question becomes, how might we hold both the words in your poem and these feelings in balance as we move forward and support schools?
