According to this article, "Researchers from Monash University have surveyed 1000 primary and secondary teachers across the country and their results reveal what health and wellbeing measures educators consider essential at work." The result (13 page PDF) is a nice little list of things like safety, respect, autonomy and trust. It's important, I think, not to misconstrue what is being said here. There is no discussion of compensation or pay whatsoever, so the results apply only "to foster thriving educational environments for all teachers," as the authors write, and not "solving the teacher shortage crisis through recruiting and retaining teachers," as the Education Review summary suggests. It's a conceptual exercise; wellbeing is explicitly contrasted with 'fear' in the instructions. P.S. I like the use of the CRediT authorship contribution statement at the end, which makes it clear that the paper had one author (Duyen T. Vo) and two supervisors (Kelly-Ann Allen, Andrea Reupert) all of whom appear in the byline.
