Abstract
This study examined the relationships between elementary teachers' daily flow and emotional experiences and student learning outcomes. Using Experience Sampling with 379 teachers and 9,354 students across 28 Israeli schools, teachers reported flow and emotions during random activities over five workdays. Teachers completed professional and general well-being assessments while students evaluated their positive emotions, flow, and comprehension of homeroom teachers' lessons. Results showed that teachers' positive emotions correlated with school connectedness, meaning, and teaching efficacy. Flow experiences enhanced teaching efficacy and life satisfaction. Teachers' well-being positively impacted student emotions and comprehension, highlighting the link between teacher well-being and learning outcomes.
