Outcome synthesis across the 46 studies, classified by the original authors' interpretations; quantitative studies counted supportive if they showed significant improvements in well-being. "Most of the reviewed studies positively affected teacher well-being (n=37)"; one study (Powell & Cheshire, 2008) reported a mildly negative effect on depersonalisation.

"Most of the reviewed studies positively affected teacher well-being (n=37) and were categorised as supportive interventions. Nine (n=9) studies were found to have no significant impacts on teacher well-being"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Teacher well-being intervention content falls into seven activity themes, with professional development (n=20) and mindfulness/meditation (n=12) most common
• Intervention contents align with PERMA-H mainly through engagement (25), relationships (17), positive emotions (14) and health (8), with no content matching meaning or accomplishment
• Gratitude, therapy-based, and the single physical activity intervention positively contributed to teacher well-being, though the physical activity intervention did not mitigate burnout — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Mindfulness and meditation interventions supported teacher well-being in 10 of 12 studies, with two studies showing non-significant changes — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Professional development interventions showed mixed outcomes, with 14 of 20 studies supportive and 6 non-supportive — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Most teacher well-being interventions target individual actions rather than community well-being — related
