Research Goals:
The aims of our research are to: (a) understand how primary grade teachers, in settlement and non-settlement schools, define their own well-being, (b) involve teachers in defining critical constructs that should be measured, and (c) co-develop and validate a contextually-appropriate tool.
Embedded Research Translation Product:
- a non-technical summary brief on the ways in which teachers define their own well- being,
- a validated teacher well-being survey for use in Uganda,
- a technical report of the validity and reliability of the survey,
- and a webinar on the process-learnings from the research that could be applied to other contexts.
