This Community Conversation will offer a space to express concerns about faculty burnout, share resources, and learn new strategies for better self care during these trying times.

This interactive Skill Up! session will facilitate participants’ transition back to the hybrid and in-person world language classroom by building on the strategies they learned and applied during remote instruction.

Join us for two hours of slowing down, pausing, reflecting on this past year, sharing stories and tools that have contributed to your own healing, and learn additional strategies for the remainder of the school year and summer. You’ll leave with renewed connections, a plan for the months ahead, and tools to meet your needs and support your healing.

Given the current social and political landscape, this workshop will explore the intersection between restorative practices, identity, resiliency, and community healing in the face of racial trauma. During this two-session institute, participants will receive tools and resources, engage in small group discussion, and have the opportunity for individual reflection and application.
