Description

This workshop is provided by Online Learning Consortium (OLC).

For some instructors, the pandemic events of 2020 and 2021 brought new challenges to teaching and learning, alongside an imbalance in routines, priorities, and self-care habits. Many instructors found themselves buried under grading and content creation, all while managing multiple other personal and professional priorities. As we embark on a new school year, join us for an engaging and collaborative group conversation to identify strategies for managing stress, identifying outlets for self-care, and reflecting on the nuggets of strength, grace, and hope that helped us persist through the worst of the pandemic.

In this honest, personal, informative, and engaged conversation session, participants will explore their self-care routines and strategies (or lack thereof) and how they might find new ways to build self-care practices and strategies into their daily practices moving forward. Let’s work together to create individualized plans to weather whatever challenges the new school year brings.

By participating in this webinar, you will…
  • Identify at least one strategy you use to infuse self-care into your daily routine.
  • Identify at least one person you will actively build a network with and together further support and mentor one another to address burnout, fatigue, and self-care.
  • Discuss strategies for rewriting one’s fatigue, burnout, and stress dialogue.
  • Identify possible teaching-focused strategies that could reduce stress, fatigue, and burnout.
Please note: This webinar will NOT be recorded in order to encourage and protect candid sharing from participants in a safe space.

Register online via OLC. There is no cost to attend.
