Leadership

To make deep contributions to the lives of our students, we must first embrace routines and practices of self-care and self-compassion. During this interactive webinar, Dr. Timothy D. Kanold will take you on a high-energy, inspiring, and reflective examination of how to stay balanced and fulfilled in your professional life. Timely topics that mean the most during this unprecedented time will be addressed—from stress management to effective planning to meaningful engagement with students and colleagues.

Many teachers are simply and understandably burning out! The fire and passion that once sparked for teaching are simply becoming extinguished. In this highly-engaging webinar, based on the book by the same title, educators will not only learn how to restore their passion for teaching, they will also explore 12 specific ways to look five to ten years younger, become and remain healthier, and live a longer life! This webinar has been called both personally and professionally life-changing and so much fun!

Based on the combined works of Dr. Timothy D. Kanold and Dr. Tina H. Boogren and their framework for educator wellness, this inspirational and interactive webinar will help you learn how to live a well-balanced and fully engaged life in order to build a safe, supportive, and collaborative school culture that positively impacts both student achievement and teacher retention.

Join us for this webinar to engage in a unique professional learning experience that can work for schools, departments or teams. Choose Your Own Master Class is designed with standalone chapters to offer busy educators the opportunity to join together for a book club, yet begin with the chapter that speaks to their most urgent needs. This webinar will highlight the chapter on civil conversations, including its thought leaders from across disciplines. It will feature reflective exercises and classroom strategies to help you start off the year cultivating a supportive classroom environment. Together we’ll explore ideas to nurture inclusivity and belonging throughout the school year.
