Growing from Within

Workshop Description

Teachers need a break, not just to rest (though that is also very important) but also to think about what they are doing. This doesn't mean furiously filling out to-do lists and reviews. It means having the silence and space to get a perspective that teachers might not have a chance to develop when so furiously working on all the tasks that need to be done.

Objectives:

Participants will:

• Renew their sense of purpose and passion to teach
• Build up a culture of care and collegial support in the school
• Acquire skills for self-care to support themselves in managing their work-life balance

Relevance: For teachers who feel burn-out

Target Audience: Teachers and Allied Educators
