Description
Teacher attrition and turnover are becoming endemic. In March 2024 alone, 56,000 teachers and educational staff quit their jobs in the US. (Statista) There is no way around it: schools need teachers for students to thrive, and teachers must be well if they are going to stay. An investment in teacher wellness is the only viable solution.
In this timely preconference, Jill Molli, Conscious Discipline’s Director of Development, will guide school leaders and administrators through the systemic issues surrounding teacher wellness and retention. Then, she’ll provide actionable steps and solutions that equip you with tools needed for getting out of your office and onto the ground floor of supporting teacher wellness while maintaining your own.
The preconference will focus on three key factors:
- Establishing a positive school culture where teachers and staff feel seen, supported, and safe
- Becoming a visible school leader to increase student success, support your staff, and close achievement gaps, while still meeting your other responsibilities
- Shifting your school’s “professional goals” to “wellness goals” to encourage mental health and retention via your Professional Development
Closing achievement gaps and increasing academic success while losing a significant percentage of staff year after year can feel enormously intimidating for school leadership and administrators. However, research shows that when teachers are well, everyone benefits. Join us at this exceptional preconference workshop for all levels of education administrators and walk away confident in knowing exactly what’s needed to ensure success for your teachers, your students, and yourself!
