Educator Well-Being: Granting Grace and Hope

The past few years have undeniably challenged and changed education. Much of the policy introduced emphasizes student mental health. However, educators have faced mounting pressure and increasingly limited time—all while being encouraged to maintain a positive attitude for their students. What is the actual state of educators’ well-being? And are the solutions being implemented short-sighted?

In our webinar, guest speakers Dr. Lisa Strohman and Angela Maiers shared:

  • The current state of educator mental health
  • Common district and school solutions and their effectiveness
  • The consequences for administration and learning if educator needs are unmet
  • Actionable strategies to address and maintain educator wellness
