Rise and Shine: Building Resilient Educators for a Brighter Tomorrow

Outline

Participants will take part in small group table discussions (10-15 minutes) to provide a platform for sharing experiences and learning from others facing similar challenges. These facilitated discussions will offer new perspectives and ideas, fostering a sense of community and shared understanding among peers.

In addition, through role-playing peer to peer scenarios, attendees will build confidence in having boundary-setting conversations, making it easier to implement these strategies in their daily lives. (5-10 minutes)

Finally, the session includes a toolkit of practical self-care activities to help reduce stress. Educators will learn simple practices that can be easily incorporated into their daily routines, promoting long-term health and well-being. (individual; 5-10 minutes)

By engaging in these interactive components, educators will leave the session equipped with useful tools and strategies to maintain joy and balance in their professional and personal lives, ultimately leading to a healthier, more sustainable approach to leadership.
