SEL Professional Development for Teachers and Staff
46% of teachers
report high levels of daily stress that affects their health, quality of life, and teaching performance.
50% of new administrators
leave their role in the first three years, and school administration is ranked as one of the top five most stressful professions in the United States.
70% of teens
say anxiety and depression is a “major problem” amongst their peers.
50% of children
will experience at least one traumatic event before the age of 17 that could impact their wellbeing and ability to regulate emotions.
We can create cultures of well-being, resilience, and strong social-emotional skills for students, staff, and leaders.
Educators and administrators are under increasing pressure due to many competing expectations: curriculum, testing, evaluation systems, and needs of students among others. But more than any increased test score or new curriculum, we need time. Time to slow down, reflect, and focus on what matters—our own health and well-being, and that of our educational communities.
I can make it easy to build in this precious time.
In addition to teaching, schools are also asked to meet social and emotional needs of students. Yet, often teachers and leaders own needs are not met. Adults in education need to be in good social-emotional health in order to be the models our students sorely need.
Let me help you get there.
I provide professional development focused on sustainability in leadership and teaching that can help adults model and teach important skills for students: collaboration, communication, emotion regulation, and resilience.
