Transforming Cultural Change in Schools with Sue Chandler
Mar 14, 2023 Episode 42

"If you believe wellbeing matters, then important change needs to happen at a system level. The truth is wellbeing is a responsibility AND a strategy. It needs to be at the foundation of all decision making. Leaders should be questioning, how will this decision and structural change impact the wellbeing of people within our organisation? Integral to this is the care and attention given to nurturing the relational process, which is at the heart of education" - Sue Chandler

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Sue Chandler, the Founder of Transformative Schools. Sue has 30 years’ experience in teaching, educational leadership, counselling, coaching, conflict resolution, professional supervision, training and workplace health and wellbeing design. She has presented workshops on her wellbeing design concepts at state, national and international conferences.

Having led the strategic design, project planning and implementation of a whole school wellbeing framework at a large independent school, Sue brings a wealth of experience to her consultancy business, Transformative Schools.  Her mission is to help schools drive positive and transformational change through the integration of the science of wellbeing into whole school systems.

Sue and I discuss: 

  • The services provided by Transformative Schools 
  • How to imbed wellbeing approaches and build professional capability
  • The importance of distributing power in such a way as to allow others to gain a sense of ownership over the goals in the process of change
  • Helping  teachers understand that their classroom is a system and they have an incredible opportunity to curate the environment for learning and wellbeing, not just deliver content
  • And much more!

Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!
