Educator and teacher wellness is a personal journey. And like all journeys, there are starts, stops, and bumps in the road. The question becomes, how do we bring our best selves to our students and colleagues each day? Designed as a reflective journal and guidebook, Educator Wellness by Timothy D. Kanold and Tina H. Boogren will take you on a deep exploration where you will uncover profound answers that ring true for you.
We will start in June and spend the summer in the Season of Renewal where we reclaim our physical wellbeing. We will move into September and begin the Season of Opportunity focusing on decisions, balance and efficacy routines. Our high-energy profession requires that we bring our bent mental selves to work each day. In December we will kick off the Season of Perseverance and work on learning to respond rather than react to negative emotions through awareness, understanding, and mindfulness routines. Finally, we will end the Season of Transition in March and focus on our social wellness. We will focus on relationships, trust and purpose as we expand our desired impact as an educator.
