PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Cultivating Resilience in Educators

This monthly professional development program focuses on cultivating resilience in educators. We are offering an in person or virtual option.

Cultivating Resilience in Educators encourages supportive relationships, effective teaching, and gives educators the feeling that their personal and professional needs are met. Explore practical habits that will positively impact you, your students, and your greater community.

These strengths-based sessions equip individuals with a set of practical skills that can be applied in everyday life to navigate adversity and thrive in challenging environments. Together we will explore the following;

How do I boost my individual resilience, improve my well being, and avoid burnout?
What can we do to build relationships and to support each other?
How do I model resilience for others?
