ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY CONVERSATION
Even though the school year is just beginning, educators are already feeling great stress, with many in danger of burning out. Difficult questions abound: how do we learn new online platforms to adapt curriculum while supporting the learning of our own children at home? How can we continue to show up positively every day when we have our own health concerns? How can we teach in a trauma-informed classroom while managing safety protocols for all?
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 online workshop is intended for faculty, administrators, deans of faculty, deans of students, and school counsellors. We invite CATDC Member Schools to send up to 3 people to our free member-only workshops. Spots fill quickly and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
