Resilience And Well-Being Training

A Masterclass in Building Resilience and Wellbeing For Teachers

Teachers and administrators face increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. This is expected to result in several issues for the profession, including higher rates of teachers leaving the profession, greater numbers of retirements, and challenges in finding staff to address the complex issues children and families are facing. Recent statistics show:

· In 2018 study by Career Development International, 85% of teachers reported a work-life imbalance, with pressure to do more with less in their classrooms as a key factor.

· In an online survey from the Collaborative for Social Emotional Intelligence and Academic Learning, teachers reported the feelings associated with teaching during a time of pandemic as anxious, fearful, worked, overwhelmed and sad. These included feelings about their personal lives (family and friends) as well as their professional lives.

· In 2015, 1 million teachers across the US will left the profession for another job, and another 1.8 million left teaching and remained unemployed.

· The Department of Education reports that 15% of teacher leave the profession in any given year, and 41% of new teachers leave education within five years.

· Teachers are most likely to leave the profession at ages 25 to 34, with the next highest group teachers in the 35-44 age range.

· In a May 2020 USA Today poll, one in five teachers over the age of 55 indicated they would not be returning to the profession in the upcoming school year.

· 80% of teachers in the same poll indicated they are struggling with stress, anxiety, and feeling good about their job.

· In a 2020 study by the University of Missouri, 94% of teachers reported high levels of stress due to changes from COVID-19. The same study reports high levels of stress can contribute to negative outcomes for students.

4 Months of Training and Coaching

Unlike a one-time single training event, the Masterclass in Building Resilience and Wellbeing extends over a four month period. During this time, participants will have eight 45-minute online group trainings and eight 30-minute one-on-one coaching sessions.

Small Group Size

Adding group laser training and discussion sessions provides an interactive format without the need for a classroom setting. Groups are limited in size to allow for activities and participation.

Designed Exclusively for Teachers

Unlike general wellbeing, stress management, and resilience building trainings, this Masterclass is designed exclusively for teachers. Activities and exercises used in the training can be modified and applied to classroom activities for students of all ages.

Confidential Coaching Component

Unique to the Masterclass in Building Resilience and Wellbeing is the personalized, confidential, one-on-one training sessions. Teachers can schedule at available times throughout the day, evenings and on the weekends to meet their busy schedule. Coaching sessions are based on the needs of the teacher and are designed to assist with personal and life goals around stress management, resilience building, and improving overall wellbeing.

Confidential Hardiness Resilience Gauge Assessment

The first step in the process is for each participant to complete the HRG or Hardiness Resilience Gauge, a foundation for understanding personal factors in building resilience and responding to change.

Personalized Wellbeing Plan

Throughout the online group training classes and the individual coaching sessions, each participant will develop a personalized wellbeing plan that maximizes their resilience and ability to manage stress in their personal life and professional role.

Recognize the Signs of Stress and Burnout

Recognizing and responding early to signs of stress is instrumental in the prevention of teacher burnout. Through implementing healthy lifestyle habits that promote wellbeing, a more effective method to manage stress and uncertainty is developed by each participant.
