Prioritizing with Purpose: How to keep focused on what really matters so you can find joy and meaning in teaching

Being a teacher is tough. Recent studies have uncovered that 44% of K-12 teachers experience burnout frequently, and 66% of teachers experience stress daily. If that sounds like you – you are not alone!!

Each month, Alison W. Smith, Resilience Coach for Educators and the founder of The Thrive Designer, will be sharing practical tips for managing the workload, stress, and grind of being a teacher. Join other educators for a relevant and uplifting conversation where we get real about what’s hard and then learn and ultimately DESIGN solutions to those very things that make teaching so tough.

Alison brings to bear 9+ years of working with hundreds of teachers to design their professional AND personal lives to be not only peaceful, balanced, and sustainable but also fulfilling, joyful, and life-giving!

Grade Focus: Any educator or professional

This is part of the Teachers That Thrive Series.  You may attend one or all the sessions.
