Education is experiencing high turnover rates, low educator engagement, and poor educator health. Nationally districts and schools are struggling to find and keep high-quality teachers. Educators have experienced an unprecedented year full of stress and trauma, which will change education forever. This session discusses how to understand and value educators beyond a school t-shirt and potluck. During the school re-opening Ogden School District made Educator Wellbeing an intentional focus and made small but meaningful shifts to better humanize the workforce. This lead to higher teacher engagement, increased teacher well-being, increased teacher retention, decreased student behavior and increased student SEL even in a pandemic year. Each participant will leave with an action plan to engage in similar small shifts to focus on Educator Wellness/SEL to make the teaching profession sustainable and increase positive student outcomes.
