The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to understand the lived experiences of teachers who embodied a sense of professional well-being while in the workplace. The teachers who participated in this study self-identified as embodying the phenomenon and participated in one semi-structured, recorded interview lasting no longer than one hour, and were asked to respond to two journal prompts. This study answers one primary question and addresses two secondary questions: (1) Primary question: What experiences in the workplace contribute to a teacher's sense of well-being? (2) Secondary questions: (A)What current experience has contributed to your sense of well-being? Please describe it and your reaction to it. (B)What current experience has diminished your sense of well-being? Please describe it and your reaction to it. The study provided insight about teacher experiences that attributed to increasing or diminishing their sense of professional well-being. Two themes emerged and two subthemes from all six participants in the study. The themes include: (1) Theme -- Invisible Fields of Influence Are Apparent Through Their Effects (1a) Engaging Students is a Professional Responsibility and Creates Meaning in the Workplace (1b) The Celebration of Teacher Successes Promotes a Sense of Professionalism and Positive Culture (2) Theme -- A Work/Life Balance Contributes to Teacher Well-Being. The findings of this study may help guide future inquiry by positioning teacher well-being within a framework of positive experiences rather than the deficit mindset of teacher burnout. By considering teacher well-being from a wealth perspective, higher-education leadership programming, professional development for K-12 district and building leaders, and district policies, processes, and procedures may be more specifically informed.
