How Does Well-Being in School Matter?

Abstract

Although there is agreement that well-being in school matters -for example, for student achievement, teacher optimal functioning, and school effectiveness -a more profound understanding is needed about the predictors, effects, and ways of promoting well-being in school. This topical volume presents upto-date research on the role of well-being in school from the fields of educational sciences, educational psychology, and health science. The contributions investigate both teacher well-being and student well-being in different countries and by using various advanced methods.
