What is The Educator Wellness Institute?
The Educator Wellness Institute is designed to support your holistic well-being so that you have skills, strategies, habits, and systems in place to sustain you throughout the year.
The profession is harder than ever. Having a toolbox of strategies to manage your emotions, your time and energy, and your classroom management are essential to your overall well-being.
Whether you’re a new teacher who is overwhelmed at the thought of starting a new year again or a seasoned teacher looking to find new ways to manage all that has changed in education, join us and discover how to build a healthier relationship with your profession, your students, and most importantly, yourself. It's time to reclaim your agency and get the support you deserve.
During the workshop, educators will find a support system of like-minded teachers, reflect on new skills to support their emotions, identify effective behavior management and classroom management strategies, and uncover how AI can support their teaching and ability to maximize their time and energy.
By investing in educators, The Educator Wellness Institute aims to cultivate thriving school communities where both teachers and students feel supported. Please join us on the journey to sustaining educator wellness and resilience.
