How does iAbacus work with the Teach Well Toolkit?
1) Identify
Use iAbacus to tell you where you are in your staff wellbeing and mental health journey. Plan next steps with staff input. Combine iAbacus with an action plan to tackle Maslach's 6 causes of Burnout.
iAbacus in Action
2) Implement
Deliver your action plan. Every step, every document written for you. But also fully customisable. The best of both worlds.
3) Monitor
You will keep an eye on how things are going by updating iAbacus and surveying your staff anonymously.
4) Evaluate
Using iAbacus and feedback from staff, you evaluate the impact of your school's wellbeing programme and signpost continued progress as part of your School Development Plan. Staff wellbeing and mental health becomes part of the culture of your school.
5) Write a Staff Wellbeing and Mental Health Policy
Already have a policy? Just update it. If you don't have one, our fully editable model policy template will do the hard work for you.
