We THRIVE Together

Educator THRIVE

This program is designed to equip school staff with tools needed to prepare for, adapt to, and grow within the changing environment of the pandemic. This is not a standard training intended to check off a staff development box. Rather, in close partnership with school professional learning staff, this program delivers practical tools and resources for staff well-being as we navigate life within the pandemic. Our team would love to work with you in bringing Educator THRIVE to your school!

Participants Say...
“I'm not used to being given district time to focus on myself and my own well-being and I REALLY appreciate that. I also enjoyed getting to discuss with my colleagues after and see where they're at and how they're doing.
“I needed to be reminded of these things today!! Perfect timing! Also, I realized I am not very good at my own wellness and scored myself low on the chart, so realize I need to do a much better job at self-care!”
“Finally we realize that personal wellness is foundational - not a prep time.”
“Just the recognition that teachers are in a stressful situation to start the school year and that it's ok to feel accordingly.”
“I appreciate that there is a purposeful focus on the importance of teachers paying attention to their well-being.”
“I realized that oftentimes we do not make our own health and needs a priority but pointing out that it is necessary to do so. I was able to better understand what it means to be resilient and how to be resilient.”
“I appreciated a better understanding of what personal wellness is and what role it plays in the classroom. It helped me to feel more at ease knowing that the sense of overwhelming is common right now and that there are others that feel the same way. I enjoyed the strategies presented that will help with our evolving classrooms.”
“I really appreciated the short videos, concise info., and corresponding journal. The info. wasn't drawn out, and was frankly, EXACTLY what I needed. It was more impactful than anything I've experienced in all my years of education, professional development, and even therapy. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!"
