| Sumario: | <p>Teacher burnout has intensified worldwide, yet research and policy efforts continue to overlook the underlying forces driving the crisis. Building on five decades of scholarship, from early warnings about occupational burnout to its later recognition as a global workplace phenomenon, this chapter exposes a persistent gap: the neglect of educator wellness within public health and education systems. Drawing on evidence from six continents, it integrates eight theoretical frameworks, including positive psychology, psychological capital, Maslow’s sailboat metaphor, posttraumatic growth, spiritual resilience, ecological systems theory, transformative learning, and sociocultural theory. These perspectives converge in the Teacher Wellness Program (TWP), a systemic model designed to reposition teacher well-being at the center of educational reform and global development goals. The chapter argues that teacher well-being constitutes critical infrastructure for sustainable learning systems and represents a moral imperative for educational recovery worldwide.</p> |
