DUBAI // Wellbeing experts will share their insights into creating happier students and teaching staff with private school educators at the What Works Wellbeing event tomorrow.
The What Works series, organised by private schools for private schools, is in its fourth year and will bring together more than 600 people including teachers, pupils and education leaders to discover ways to make the schools in Dubai happier and healthier places.
“We know that by placing value on the wellbeing of our teachers and students, the education community can improve learning outcomes for students, which is directly in line with the Dubai Innovation Strategy and National Agenda goals,” said Mouza Al-Suwaidi, chief of engagement at the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
Each of the six events during the 2015-2016 school year are now based on themes rather than subjects, making each What Works relevant to all teachers of students of all ages.
This change means that every event is for every teacher, according to the KHDA.
What Works Wellbeing begins at 8am tomorrow at the Mohammed bin Rashid Academic Medical Centre, Healthcare City, Dubai.
