Summary/Abstract: Teaching is considered a highly stressful career and teacher wellbeing plays an important role in both teacher burnout and teacher satisfaction and achievement. The nature of teacher wellbeing is complex and is largely theoretical, but there are some universal factors that may contribute to the psychological functioning of teachers. The aim of the presented article is to discuss the theoretical foundations of wellbeing issues associated with the teaching profession, including risk and protective factors, and to present the measurement tools available. The article also highlights preventive activities, which can be carried out to support the wellbeing of people working in the teaching profession.
