Or these options for cultivating self-care
Building Blocks of Self-Care
Optimal learning environments are best created by teachers that have strong social emotional learning skills and regularly practice self-care. This faculty meeting will support staff in creating good habits to build a strong foundation for SELf-care throughout the year so they are able to feel like their best self at work every day.
Connecting Values to Self-Care Practices
Self-care is taking action to preserve or improve our personal health, so self-care will, and should, look different for each individual – especially if we live our lives according to our values. This faculty meeting plan will support you in leading staff through exercises to identify activities that align with their values to replenish their personal and professional self.
Self-Care & Resilience
