Program: Model Schools

Over time, these demands can lead educators to feel "burnt out.” This course will give participants the tools to recognize what teacher burn out is and how it negatively impacts teacher and student outcomes. Participants will go beyond identifying issues and will analyze research-based strategies, techniques, and actions to help prevent or reverse burn out. Educators will learn about the positive and invigorating effects of participating in PLCs, PDs, stress management activities, reflections, and leadership opportunities.

Educators will synthesize fresh lesson plans and faculty presentations that improve student outcomes, and serve to prevent and reverse teacher burnout.

An educator's classroom includes a diverse group of pupils, which will consist of LGBTQ+ students. Families of LGBTQ+ students expect and deserve a fair and safe learning environment for their children to learn. Educators know that in order for meaningful learning to take place, all students must feel safe and supported in the school community. This is especially true for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, or are questioning their sexuality. Statewide legislation such as DASA and provisions under the federal law, Title IX do protect LGBTQ+ pupils, however, the true impact begins from a compassionate and informed educators that embrace SEL and cultivate brave learning spaces. As an advocate, an educator renders a tremendous difference on students who are struggling with their identities.
