Schooling has long been held responsible for the health and
well-being of children. However, against an international
background of rising concern about students' performance and
well-being, schools and teachers have faced escalating expectations
of their health-related work. While various stakeholders have ideas
about what teachers' health work entails, we know little about
teachers' contributions, engagement and personal satisfaction with
this work. As teachers' work represents a significant national
investment, insight into the cost-benefit of teachers' health work
is vital to establishing the broader economic contribution of
schools to society. Teachers as Health Workers offers a critical
perspective on these matters, documenting the day-to-day work of
Australian teachers as they grapple with the challenges, and joys,
of balancing education and health-related responsibilities. Whilst
shifts in policy, economics and globalisation influence localised
enactment of teachers' health work, the economic modelling,
theorising and methodological innovations of this research address
enduring themes and challenges. Consequently, this book's critical
perspective reveals policy-practice gaps in government strategies
seeking to create a healthy and productive population. The book
will inform education, health and industrial policies and provide
direction for teachers' initial or ongoing preparation as health
workers.
