Happy Teacher Wellness Intervention: Creating a Culture of Head Start Staff Well-Being and Competence

Description:

The goal of this project is to implement and examine the effects of the “Happy Teacher Wellness Intervention”, a ten-week tiered program designed to improve Head Start staff physical, psychological, and professional well-being and competence. The intervention includes self-guided online modules, an individualized wellness coaching model, and environmental and organizational supports, such as additional breaks, for teachers and leaders. During the first phase of the project, investigators will refine the conceptual framework for the intervention and develop a new comprehensive survey instrument to measure working conditions in Head Start. The second phase of the project will include the implementation of the intervention, first through a pilot study with three programs and then through a larger cluster randomized control trial (RCT) with 24 programs.
