Skill Up! Reimagining Approaches to Burnout
May 17, 2023 1:00PM—2:00PM

Failure to address burnout will result in increased escalations, increased rates of disengaged employees, and increased turnover. Addressing burnout is also critical to DEI work as burnout has disproportionate effects on educators. In this free Skill Up! session we will explore types of burnout, causes, and sustainable solutions so your school can reimagine its approach.

ABS (Asian & Black Solidarity) Power Up: Collective Freedom Dreaming for Black and APISA Educators and Allies
May 16, 2023 9:00AM—12:00PM
Virtual
The histories and present day realities of all racialized groups in our country are complex and interconnected. Alongside inspiring examples of Black-Asian solidarity, there is a pervasive background racial tension among students and between even the closest of colleagues. Understanding that building our capacity for allyship with one another requires us to acknowledge that we are racialized differently–within our schools and our larger society– Nikkia’s freedom dream for AAPI Heritage Month in 2023 includes co-creating a space for Black and APISA educators and allies to come together to cultivate authentic cross-racial solidarity that nourishes, shelters and uplifts us and our communities. This program will break it down, make it real, make connections, and move toward action!
