Four 45-minute professional development sessions with Alex Sheen
According to a 2022 Gallup Poll, k-12 workers have the highest burnout rate in the US. The past few years have been challenging for our educators and we know the important role teachers and educators play in the success of all students. With that in mind we have built in a professional development component to our program, that is designed to support, motivate and encourage them throughout the year.
Led by five-time TEDxTalk presenter Alex Sheen, these 4 quarterly workshops are designed to help attendees build resiliency and leadership skills. These sessions will share practical habits and tactics that help individuals navigate the promises they have with their families, communities, and causes they care about. Sessions will be interactive with live chat and interactions with the participants through his purpose-built Livestream studio.
