Atlanta Teacher Self-Care Annual Conference

We get into education to help kids feel seen, but we often get out because no one sees us. With an increasing number of teachers leaving the profession within the first five years, it is time for school leaders to investigate alternative reasons playing a role in the issue of teacher burnout and attrition. This session will focus on five tangible practices school leaders can implement to support educators in achieving success in and out of the classroom. The goal of this workshop is to engage audience members through storytelling, visuals including quotes from my most recent research study around educator well-being, and prompting to reflect on our own journeys in education, the extent to which we practice self-care in our daily lives, and the role this may play personally and professionally as leaders.
