What: In this 6-part series, participants will have the opportunity to slow down, ground, connect, learn, and share as they experience firsthand personal and collective care practices for teacher and leader wellbeing. Using facilitative strategies grounded in voice and belonging, we will offer tools that participants can apply and share with their colleagues and students. They will also learn about the systems and structures needed for the effective implementation and sustainability of social and emotional wellbeing practices. Examples from the field of successful strategies for adults and systems at each tier of the system (universal, targeted, intensive) will also be shared. Overall, this interactive series centers educators/leaders as the experts of their wellbeing journey and combines conversation, reflection, and practical tools to build sustainable structures of support.
