Teacher Wellbeing – Assessment Task 2 Guidelines – Infographic
Infographic -For this task you design an Infographic that represents a personal, professional plan for your wellbeing as a beginning and early career teacher.
The plan includes goals, strategies, and timelines for your professional wellbeing and early career development as a teacher. The plan is a practical approach to inform and support resilience in the workplace. It will draw upon ideas and resources in the attached readings.
The Infographic Plan will comprise two A4 pages.
Online Infographic design templates can be used to produce the Infographic Plan.
E.g. Canva • Easel-ly • Venngage • Piktochart

Guidelines for Preparing an Infographic Information graphics or Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. An infographic contains data that is focused, sorted, arranged, and presented visually.
The content is your wellbeing plan and the course ideas that have informed that plan. It will include the following:
• Evidence that the socio-cultural approach has informed your plan
• References to your personal & professional wellbeing (specific points – i.e. relevant to you) • Evidence that resilience will be part of your development as a teacher (practical responses supporting your ongoing growth)
• Evidence of goals and practical strategies (for supporting wellbeing and building resilience) • Beginning and early career development dimensions (about the first year of teaching and beyond)
• Timelines (shorter-term [1st year] and longer-term [beyond 1st year])
Hints: Do take time to consider what it is that makes an infographic work well. This includes getting the right balance between quality and quantity of information. Sometimes less is more if the right detail is chosen. Use of colours and images add visual impact. Sometimes the right image can convey information more efficiently than the use of many words.
Readings to support ideas:
RUBRIC
Topic: Use of class materials and ideas
Evidence of a socio-cultural approach (to wellbeing, resilience and development).
Personal and professional wellbeing (specific points, relevant to you). Building resilience (practical responses to the wellbeing specifics). Development (framing your on-going growth as a teacher). Relevant: links to readings and/or resources (as appropriate)
The topic in the infographic is highly specific in nature and clearly informs and/ or convinces the viewer. All required elements are included.
The plan:
Evidence of goals and linked to practical strategies (distinct and non-trivial). Beginning and early career development dimensions (holistic approach). Timelines included (1 year and beyond 1 year).
Clear and convincing.
Highly sophisticated presentation of plan. All required elements are present, clearly visible and well placed.
Design and presentation of infographic
Organisation and information (logical and systematic).
Layout and style (arrangement of text, images, colour etc.).
Impact (readability and visual aesthetic).
The type of infographic chosen (timeline, informational etc.) highly supports the content being presented. The visual objects support the data presented and make the information extremely clear and easy to understand. The font chosen complements the information and makes the infographic easy to read.
