Cultivating a Practice of Self-Care and Resilience
Michael Paynter & Robyn McKeen
Senior Director of Student Support Services, Schools Integrated Behavior Health Initiative (SIBHI) Consultant

We know from research that teacher stress and burnout results in fewer gains in students' executive functions and increases in student stress and that teacher wellbeing contributes to greater student support, increased student engagement and motivation, and better use of instructional time. In this session, you'll experience a variety of strategies to reduce stress and increase personal resilience with applications for your staff and students. You'll leave with resources from Greater Good in Education and the SCCOE SEL & Wellness webpages.
