I like these ideas, but sadly, schools gave tiny budgets for teacher wellbeing ideas. Then there's time pressure for teachers to get to lessons, leaving much less time for teachers to enjoy creative spaces like this. I think your ideas would only work if school budgets were increased hugely and teacher timetables were redesigned to allow time for teacher creative spaces.
Yep, it's a problem no doubt. We need a full reboot of the profession, and I dream big. That's not to say small shifts can't have an impact--stocked snacks and diet coke, a fresh coat of paint along with IKEA furniture and a chess set, a few sets of noise canceling headphones to be checked out.
