TI - Unlocking fun: Accessing play to enhance secondary teachers’ well-being T2 - An International Journal Of Research And Studies CY - Elsevier, 2024 KW - Well-Being N1 - In support of teacher well-being, playing can offer a levity and perspective shift that seems elusive in times of stress. In this study, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with ten secondary school teachers about the ways they play. Thematic analysis was utilized to draw up three keys that teachers use to unlock their play. 1) Spark-a playful action, 2) Space-the mindful place where actions are planned or reflected upon, and 3) Structure-the systems that support a teacher's ability to play. Harnessing playful teaching practices can promote a school culture of sustainable and creative teaching and learning UR - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0742051X24000556 ER -
