School Wellbeing, Built Together
The Transformative Wellbeing Program
The Transformative Wellbeing Program offers three certificate tracks, for teachers, operational staff, and leaders, built on Kirsten Pontius's wellbeing framework. Each blends personal and collective care so every role in your school builds sustainable wellbeing using a shared language.
The challenge: Wellbeing that doesn't reach everyone.
Many schools want wellbeing to take root across the whole community, in classrooms, the front office, and the leadership team alike, but find themselves caught between:
-
Running a single wellbeing initiative built for teachers alone, while operational staff and leaders are left out
-
Buying separate programs for each group that never speak the same language
-
Watching momentum fade once the school year gets busy and wellbeing becomes one more disconnected task
The result? Uneven support, inconsistent practice, and a school where "wellbeing" means something different depending on who you ask.
What it is
Three certificate tracks, one shared framework.
The Transformative Wellbeing Certificate for Teachers gives classroom teachers practical, sustainable strategies for their own wellbeing and their students', through Personal Care and Collective Care courses.
The Transformative Wellbeing Certificate for Operational Staff brings the same framework to office staff, custodial teams, and other non-teaching roles who keep the school running, available through school or team enrollment.
The Transformative Wellbeing Leadership Certificate equips school leaders through three courses, The Leadership Edge, From Strain to Strength, and Wellbeing by Design, to build a culture of wellbeing from the inside out.
All three are built on Kirsten Pontius's framework, so the whole school ends up speaking the same language.
Course Components and Options
Every certificate follows a clear, collaborative path that helps your staff build, and sustain, wellbeing practices that actually fit their day-to-day work.
-
This prerequisite mini-course establishes a shared foundation for the work you'll undertake in the Transformative Wellbeing for Leaders course(s).
-
The Global Cohort model includes three to four one-hour calls per course, offering valuable support and connection with fellow leaders. These calls are required to earn the certificate. If you choose the self-paced option, you will not have access to Coaching and Connection calls.
-
Each course features a variety of modules designed to provide maximum impact for busy people. You'll engage with content through concise videos, presentations, readings, and images.
-
To support reflection, retention, and growth on your journey, a workbook will guide you through the learning process and enrich your experience.
-
To recognize your commitment to wellbeing, cohort participants will receive a certificate upon completing the series.
-
Schools seeking to learn together with scheduling flexibility and customized support are invited to join as a private cohort. (Contact us for pricing.)
