Breakouts
Often times as educators we allow our students to miss an assignment or school activity when we see a note from a parent. We allow them to miss school when they give us a doctor’s note. Yet in the midst of offering such grace, how often do we allow ourselves that same permission to dial back our own efforts when we too need rest? Sure, we get paid to work hard. Really hard! But it's also important to recognize when we become fatigued and remember to take care of ourselves. In this session you will learn the meaning of Compassion Fatigue and the importance of Self Care. You’ll leave with strategies that allow you to avoid compassion fatigue, improve your coping abilities and find time to re-energize yourself. This allows you to continue to offer the very best to your students, parents, and colleagues both in and out of the classroom.
