Teacher well-being panel discussion
“We all have stories to tell”
The panel discussion on ‘Teacher well-being’ features an expert-led discussion on teacher burn-out, depression, phobias, anxiety etc. The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide.
The Panelists
Teacher well-being Panel Discussion
COVID-19 has affected daily life in unprecedented ways. The mental health impacts have tightened the link between lifestyle behaviours and depression.
During the pandemic, time spent socializing declined to less than 30 minutes, and screen time more than doubled to over 5 hours per day. The proportion of people at risk for clinical depression increased.
The COVID-19 pandemic also presented other unique challenges. Being ‘locked in’ with family members stressed families leading to parent and child mental health problems and couple conflict, among others.
Cliff Parry, who fights depression will share his story!

SPEAKERS
THE BOOK EXHIBITION
The social panel discussion
Teacher groups on social media are inundated with questions like:
1. Which coursebook do you recommend for a B1 Level student?
2. During the lockdown, teachers and students often felt they were overexposed to technology. Returning to a face-to-face teaching practice, a question often posed by teachers is: "How much technology should I use in my lessons? How many tools and for how long"
3. Parents often feel that they need to have a say on how the lesson is structured and they often intervene causing numerous problems. How can teachers prevent and deal effectively with such issues?
4. Parents want their child to take a C2 Level exam six months after taking a B2 Level exam. How do you deal with this issue?
5. Which language exam is easier to pass? I have students who refuse to study; however, they want a ‘πτυχίο’.
6. How do the X, Y, Z exams institutions mark candidates’ writing tasks?
