RESILIENCE TRAINING FOR EDUCATORS

Bring resilience to your team!
WHY EDUCATORS NEED RESILIENCE TRAINING
Is your team burning out?
It's no secret, the life of a teacher is stressful.
With the added pressures that educators have experienced in the last few years, teachers are burning out faster than ever. In fact, the latest studies reveal that educators have become the most burnt out profession in America, with nearly half of teachers reporting that they always feel burnout at work.
Why does this matter?
We know how important it is for you to not only keep your teachers happy, but also to keep your teachers teaching. With burnout becoming so pervasive in the teaching profession, it has also become the #1 cause of teacher attrition.
While, of course, additional systemic interventions are needed as well, resilience training can help your educators be more able to reduce stress, manage challenges with greater ease, and reconnect with the joy of what they do.
Is this impacting your students?
Research reveals that teacher stress and burnout directly impacts their ability to give clear instruction, create a supportive environment for their students, and effectively manage the classroom. What's more, high turnover rates of teachers not only directly affects their students, but it also impacts the success of all the students in the school.
Your students need more resilient teachers just as much as you do.

Bring resilience to your teamA Human-First Approach
So many "professional development" programs and workshops forget that employees are humans first. The Resilient Educator workshop and program exist because your team's needs as individuals - as humans - have to come first.
While this workshop will, of course, ultimately help your team do their jobs better and support their students more fully, the core of this work will help them reconnect them with who they are, care for their minds and bodies, build personal inner resources, and become resilient humans.
