Rethinking How Schools Function
The way schools are currently designed is no longer sustainable, and we’re seeing this across every layer of the system, from teacher retention and staff wellbeing, through to student engagement and learning outcomes.
What most schools are missing is this: improving the conditions for staff isn’t just about staff. When teachers feel supported, clear in their roles, and able to do their job well, students learn better. Staff wellbeing and student outcomes are the same conversation, they’ve just rarely been treated that way.
Amy Green has spent years working directly with educators, and through over 1000 face-to-face conversations with teachers and school leaders, through her Culture Audit process what she hears consistently is the same: staff want clarity, reduced workload, consistent and confident leadership, and the space to actually do their job well. Her books Teacher Wellbeing and Wellbeing Leadership underpin everything she brings to this work, grounding it in both research and the reality educators are living.
Amy Green is an Australian school staff wellbeing speaker and consultant, and a former teacher and school leader.
the challenge
It is not a lack of care.
It is a lack of clear strategy.
Morning teas and appreciation weeks rarely address the deeper systems that impact staff stress.
Short-term initiatives create moments of connection but not lasting structural change.
Leadership teams need practical tools and frameworks, not more programs to manage
Genuine improvement requires staff voice, strategic clarity and embedded practice.
"Real change requires clear strategy, strong systems, thoughtful leadership, and an approach to wellbeing that moves beyond surface-level initiatives."
Workload doesn't reduce by accident, it reduces when systems, roles and expectations are made clear.
When middle leaders lack clarity on their role, the pressure doesn't disappear, it just lands on everyone else.
A culture of wellbeing isn't built in a staff meeting, it's built into how the school is designed to function every day.
Schools can't retain great teachers by offering perks, they retain them by building environments where doing the job well is actually possible.

The Culture Audit
Before you can change the culture of a school, you need to know what you’re actually working with. The Culture Audit is a structured process designed to surface what helps your people feel, work, team and lead well, and what’s getting in the way. Amy goes beneath the surface to capture qualitative data across your staff, through small discussion groups. You'll get a comprehensive report with clear themes, recommendations, and an engagement in a leadership unpack to work through what it means and to co-design your action plan. For schools ready to stop guessing and start designing.

Consultancy and Advisory
Some schools need more than a single session or a snapshot. They need someone who can sit alongside leadership over time, help make sense of the data, and work through the things that genuinely shift how a school operates. Working with Amy usually starts with a Culture Audit and can include leadership development, middle leadership clarity, curriculum alignment, team structure, process and policy design, staff wellbeing framework creation. We focus on what the data says needs attention most.

Curriculum Clarity
When teachers are unclear on what’s expected, when planning sessions lack consistency or structure, or when the school’s pedagogical model exists in a document nobody uses, the impact lands directly on staff wellbeing. Cognitive load increases, workload feels unmanageable, and the sense of doing your job well becomes harder to find.
Working with Amy in this space means unpacking the curriculum structures your school already has and ensuring they are clear, consistent, and manageable. Whether that's reviewing your pedagogical framework and instructional playbook to make sure what exists on paper is actually planned for and happening in classrooms, building planning documentation that actually reduces workload rather than adds to it, or working with leaders and teams to get clarity on what good looks like.
the approach
Staff wellbeing that is designed, not defaulted.
Most schools don't lack commitment to staff wellbeing; they lack the structure and strategy to make it last. Amy works alongside school leadership teams to build wellbeing into the infrastructure of how a school operates, not layered on top of everything else. She works from your data, designs your strategy with you, and guides you along the way. She knows every school is different, and that the work has to be built around what you actually need.
