Learning Forward
Equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
Sustaining your wellness for the long haul
Presenters: Angel Montoya, Christopher J. Cormier and Nancy L. Markowitz
As we approach the midpoint of this challenging school year, skyrocketing stress levels are understandable. But they don’t have to lead to burnout. On this webinar, presenters will discuss how to cope when your energy reserves are depleted but the challenges just keep coming. They will share strategies for caring for yourself and colleagues so everyone can thrive for the long haul.
Participants will:
- Learn why their own well-being is foundational to students’ well-being and learning;
- Examine symptoms and patterns of burnout;
- Discover eight dimensions of wellness and how to nurture them;
- Consider the unique challenges facing teachers of color and how to address them; and
- Learn how to embody and apply a social, emotional, and cultural framework to teaching and learning.
