Based on the combined research-affirmed works of Dr. Timothy D. Kanold and Dr. Tina H. Boogren and their 2021 title, Educator Wellness, this timely institute will help focus your time, energy, routines, and actions on strategies to avoid the physical, emotional, and relational burnout that educators often face.

Dr. Kanold and Dr. Boogren will inspire you to:

Develop strategies for bringing your best self to work each day
Prioritize routines for your physical, mental, emotional, and social wellness
Examine research-affirmed strategies to avoid prolonged stress, exhaustion, and burnout
Utilize a robust self-rating protocol to identify wellness routines
Learn and grow with colleagues to share wellness practices that influence student achievement
Reflect on your current wellness story to reconnect to your “why” and a greater purpose as an educator

Our daily wellness and well-being as educators can be elusive. There is a fine line between being busy while living a well-managed life and being hurried into a stress-filled life on the brink of emotional and physical exhaustion.

Participating in an active process toward achieving a positive state of good health and well-being provides a pathway for overcoming obstacles to a fulfilling life as an educator.

This institute is designed for teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
