Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire

The Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire is an 8-item self-report rating scale measuring teachers' job-specific wellbeing. It comprises two subscales: (1) School Connectedness and (2) Teaching Efficacy. Subscale scores can be used as standalone wellbeing indicators or summed to create an Overall Teacher Subjective Wellbeing composite score.
