As an AISA school member of staff, the reopening of campuses in a COVID-19-impacted world raises many questions regarding your health and wellbeing. How do you – as an individual in a tight community of educators, leaders and co-professionals – mitigate the very real concerns that are now so integral to on-campus life?
The Online Staff Wellbeing Toolkit
The answer lies in a unique partnership between AISA and an Australian based organisation, the National Excellence in School Leadership Institute (NESLI), that offers member schools an Online Staff Wellbeing Toolkit, a self-paced programme which assists people to proactively manage their wellbeing and provide strategies for schools to support each other.
To assist with the implementation of this programme, AISA is facilitating a Practice Group to support those executing the Toolkit at their schools; the Toolkit Leader. AISA aims to ensure that group members collaborate with their peers, learn from each other and are set up for success as they lead the rollout at their schools.
The Desired Outcomes
The programme, suitable for all staff, is aimed at schools rather than individuals and requires a minimum of 5 registrants per school. Only one person per school must apply, preferably the head of school.
Cohort 1 has now begun. If you would like to express your school’s interest in joining Cohort 2 in early 2021 contact AISA’s Chanel Worsteling. chanel@aisa.or.ke
