About The Teaching Well's School Sustainability Model

The Teaching Well's School Sustainability Model is a multi-year, whole-school partnership designed to strengthen educator wellbeing, stabilize adult culture, and create the conditions for long-term sustainability in schools.

Wellness Cabinet

A Wellness Cabinet is a strategic leadership and advisory service designed to help schools build a thriving culture of wellness across their community. Through a series of facilitated sessions, school leaders and key stakeholders engage in collaborative visioning, strategic planning, and leadership coaching to design and embed sustainable wellness initiatives within the broader school culture.

Our team serves as both thought partner and guide—creating a supportive container for honest dialogue, innovation, and alignment while helping schools establish the systemic structures needed for long-term impact. Together, we identify priorities, strengthen staff and student wellbeing practices, and develop actionable strategies that foster connection, resilience, and a healthier school environment.

The Wellness Cabinet convenes over five virtual 60-minute sessions, bringing together either the full team or a representative visioning group depending on the focus area. This collaborative approach ensures diverse stakeholder voices are included in shaping a wellness strategy that is both meaningful and sustainable beyond the duration of our partnership.

Research That Drives Action

The Teaching Well's annual landscape analysis informs policy and practice in service of greater staff sustainability. Grounded in data gathered directly from schools, our research surfaces the conditions that drive educator attrition — and the systems that prevent it.

We help schools use data cycles to reduce attrition, ease adult friction, and build the structures that sustain educators over the long term. Our findings translate directly into actionable strategy for leaders making decisions about culture, retention, and wellbeing.

This work supports schools to:

• Understand the root causes of staff attrition and burnout
• Use data cycles to measure and improve adult culture
• Build systemic conditions for long-term educator sustainability
• Inform policy and practice with field-tested evidence
