Teaching and Leading Educator Wellness Portable Event Package

In a time of relentless stress and change, it’s crucial for adults in schools to prioritize their own self-care, so they can be at their best for themselves and their students. The Teaching and Leading Educator Wellness Portable Event Package is thoughtfully designed to support a healthy, balanced, and meaningful professional life for all school employees—from teachers, administrators, and support staff to social workers, nurses, and counselors.

Led by Dr. Timothy D. Kanold and Dr. Tina H. Boogren, this portable event brings together a select group of authors and presenters who collectively share words of wisdom, messages of inspiration, and research-affirmed routines for self-care, self-compassion, and self-reflection. At the end of your virtual event experience, you and your team will feel empowered to make positive contributions across your school community and lead a healthier daily work life this season and every school season.

With this Portable Event Package, individuals or entire teams will receive 60-day access to:

  • Two inspiring keynotes
  • Nine in-depth learning sessions

Learning Outcomes:

  • Consider how educator well-being impacts student achievement.
  • Uncover your heartprint and soul story and use both to pursue happiness, compassion, and gratitude.
  • Learn the 2-minute rule and a 5-step process for developing new habits and routines that lead to increased joy and grace at work.
  • Review the four seasons of a school year and learn easy-to-implement hacks to help yourself and/or your staff members thrive through each phase.
  • Examine the six phases of being a beginning teacher and how the pandemic has impacted each phase.
  • Understand how to practice self-care to avoid early career burnout that so often leads to teachers changing careers.
  • Set goals you want to accomplish, while letting go of demands that don’t matter.
  • Nurture your own social and emotional skills in order to fully support the social-emotional learning (SEL) needs of students.
  • Learn from leading experts
