Explore how adult well-being is key to promoting healthy social-emotional behaviors for students. Experts will share strategies to address teacher stress and provide them with much needed support.

Newly published surveys indicate that teachers are dealing with unprecedented levels of stress and leaving the profession at very high rates.

Teachers who remain are dealing with:

  • Increased workloads
  • Conflicting demands from parents and school boards
  • Pressure from the uncertainty of the pandemic

Well-being has a direct impact on a teacher’s ability to model social-emotional awareness in the classroom. Our educators are making tremendous efforts to support students as they navigate this novel landscape.
