Threading Teacher Well-Being Into Teacher Education: The Design of an Online Course

This article presents the conception and development of an online course (OC) on teacher well-being (TWB), designed to address one of the most pressing challenges in contemporary teacher education. The OC is built on the premise that well-being is both an individual and a systemic concern and aims to equip (future) teachers with knowledge, strategies, and reflective opportunities to foster resilience, engagement, and professional growth. The OC is structured into seven interconnected Learning Modules, each focusing on a distinct dimension of TWB. The modules will be introduced in detail, highlighting their specific purposes, pedagogical strengths, and the ways in which they contribute to the overarching narrative that ties the course together. In addition, the article outlines the dissemination strategy for the course, sketching ideas for its integration into teacher education programs and professional development contexts. By combining evidence-informed content with accessible, engaging learning design, the OC aims to provide a scalable and sustainable resource that supports teachers across diverse contexts in nurturing their own well-being.
