Witness and Wonder: Resourcing the Educator

By Susan Averna

It is no secret that schools and the children and adults that inhabit them are under increased stress. There is a rise in behavior and mental health issues in students of all ages, and educators are finding it harder to meet the needs of students even though services and the focus on students is at an all-time high. Educators are disheartened and burning out, questioning whether education is the right field for them.

When we resource the educator and prioritize educators' well-being, we effectively support students. Drawing on psychological theory and backed by research, Dr. Averna offers over forty mind and body practices to reduce reactivity, deepen relationships, and build resilience. With this guidance, educators can cultivate personalized professional development for well-being and shift school culture for system wide change.
