Your well-being matters to your students and colleagues as they become the beneficiaries of your improved energy and engagement, your efficient and wise daily decision making, your sense of self-efficacy, and your commitment to balancing a busy life with routines that allow your brain to process thousands of inputs each day.
Every educator has a wellness story to tell.

The 4 Dimensions of Educator Wellness Series
Offered as individual 1-day sessions, each component in the series focuses on one of the 4 Dimensions of Educator Wellness:
- The physical dimension of wellness represents the most essential needs for educators. In this session, you are invited to measure your physical wellness progress in three distinct routines: food, movement, and sleep.
- Understand the primary role physical wellness plays in your everyday life.
- Learn how each of the three routines interconnect to impact your energy.
- Access research-based strategies for physical self-care.
- Gain a better understanding of your physical wellness and create a self-improvement action plan.
- The mental dimension of wellness represents the need to maintain manageable levels of stress while staying highly engaged in our busy lives. During this time together with fellow educators, you will tap into routines that will help you avoid the out-of-control, exhausted feeling that often accompanies prolonged stress.
- Discover opportunities for progress on three distinct routines: decision, balance, and efficacy.
- Realize the value of these routines for improving energy and making a positive impact on others.
- Bring confidence and competence to your daily work life.
- Gain a better understanding of your physical wellness and create a self-improvement action plan.
- The emotional dimension of wellness represents the need for healthy and positive emotional responses to daily experiences. The three routines explored in this one-day workshop—awareness, understanding, and mindfulness—will help you best take care of your emotional well-being so you respond to positive and negative situations alike with care and intention rather than reacting without control.
- Consider how to identify, track, and respond to daily emotions.
- Investigate the why behind emotions and how to reflect on responses to different emotions.
- Learn how mindfulness practices allow for a positive response to strong, even unpleasant, emotions.
- Gain a better understanding of your emotional wellness and create a self-improvement action plan.
- The social dimension of wellness represents the need for positive and healthy relationships with students and colleagues. This session expands the exploration of wellness beyond individual needs into appropriate outreach to others. You will work with three routines in this dimension: relationship, trust, and purpose.
- Discover fresh ways to build strong relationships and social connections.
- Find value in incorporating vulnerability and active, nonjudgmental listening into your daily work routine.
- Empower yourself to create daily work experiences that feed into your greater purpose and bring forth meaning and joy.
- Gain a better understanding of your social wellness and create a self-improvement action plan.
Sessions are scheduled to allow time between each one for participant reflection.
