Live Your Best Educator Life: Finding School/Life Balance through Strategic Self Support and Wellness (prev#: EDU-X799K) - EDU-X799KA
Course Description
Do More Than Survive, Thrive at Home and at Work with a Strategic Wellness Plan
As educators continue in their field, and deal with societal pressure, as well as pressure from administrators and parents, finding a balance between school, life, and wellness can be really tough. The pull in one direction or another causes stress, anxiety, and fatigue. In order to enjoy one’s career, show up excited, and create meaningful experiences for students, educators need to identify issues like these in their lives and have very real tools to use to counteract them so they can teach, and live, with joy and renewed energy - really live their best life. This course will help educators and administrators learn strategies to create a work/life balance. By doing so, educators can thrive both in and out of the classroom. This course will share new healthy habits educators can adopt to create a sustaining system for overall wellness.
