Are you an educator feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of teaching and leading in today’s complex social and political climate?

Together, we’ll dig into building community and navigating our learning environments through shared purpose, shared work, and shared joy. Using context mapping and self-analysis of power and privilege, we’ll examine the systems we teach within and identify actionable strategies in our spheres of control and influence to create positive change in our learning communities. Leave with a practical plan to nurture wellness, drive transformation, and reignite your sense of connection, purpose, and joy!
