Joint Professional Development Policy
Self-Directed Professional Development
Attend an online Well Teacher Group:
Teaching in today’s world is no easy feat. The pressure educators face both in and out of the classroom can take a toll on their physical and mental well-being. Balancing demanding classroom environments with the need to support friends and family often leaves teachers with little room to prioritize their own self-care.
The Well Teacher Groups offer a supportive space where educators can come together with colleagues and a trained wellness facilitator to focus on their health and well-being. This innovative program, created by Wade Repta, author of The Well Teacher, was designed to help educators find balance and restore their wellness in the midst of their busy lives.
