The investigators will evaluate whether the process improves organizational-level factors, teacher mental well-being (stress, depression and anxiety symptoms).

Educator Well-being Program

Staff at participating schools will experience the Educator Well-being Program process and complete pre- and post-intervention survey.

Behavioral: Healthy Workplace Participatory Program

Delayed Intervention

Status quo program remains in place with new ongoing data collection, then experimental intervention as above.

Behavioral: Healthy Workplace Participatory Program

Healthy Workplace Participatory Program BEHAVIORAL

The Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace's (CPH-NEW's) Healthy Workplace Participatory Program (HWPP) is a participatory process in which end-users design TWH interventions that simultaneously change organizational and individual behavior to improve the health, safety and well-being of their workforce. The HWPP uses a process to empower workers to identify the root causes of health and safety concerns and then design, implement and evaluate interventions to address those problems. The Total Teacher Health Project adapted the HWPP for educators and refer to it as the Educator Well-being Program.

Secondary measures

Change in Team Attendance

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of two years

Attendance for each Educator Design Team meeting (1-4 times per month)

Change in Team Engagement

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of two years

Percentage of combined agree and strongly agree responses for 1 survey item collected following Educator Design Team meetings (1-4 times per month): "The discussion was meaningful for achieving health, safety, and well-being goals." (Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree, Not Applicable). Items are computed individually.

Change in Level of Committee Activity

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of two years

A qualitative summary of field notes collected by research personnel following Educator Design Team and Administrator Team meetings (1-4 times per month) over the course of the study.

Change in team-selected health/safety/well-being issue

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of two years

Targeted pre- and post-intervention surveys will be designed and administered by the Educator Design Team

Proportion of content followed according to the Educator Well-being Program protocol

Time frame: Through study completion, an average of two years

A process measure that will be determined by adherence to Educator Well-being Program protocol and pre-designed agendas for Educator Design Team meetings (1-4 times per month)

Supportive School Climate
