Teaching isn’t easy; it never was—but it’s become far more difficult in recent years because of misguided educational policies, challenging student behavior, and the lack of civility that permeates public discourse. Teachers are under the weight of impossible expectations, which has contributed to unprecedented levels of burnout and teacher turnover. This workshop will provide practical strategies to manage stress, improve your effectiveness, and enhance your natural resiliency. Based in part on the books Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators, by Elena Aguilar, and Permission to Feel, by Marc Brackett, this workshop will also help you reinvigorate your teaching practice, energize yourself and colleagues, and elevate the profession. The Teach Whole workshop was developed by teachers for teachers and is facilitated by CEA members who serve on the Commission for the Improvement of Instruction and Professional Development.
