VILS Fall 2022 Virtual Mini-Conference

High levels of stress are affecting teacher health and overall well-being, resulting in teacher burnout, lack of engagement, job dissatisfaction, poor performance, and even teacher turnover. If a teacher is unable to manage their own stress adequately, their instruction suffers, ultimately impacting student well-being and achievement. It's time that we prioritize staff wellness.

In this session, participants will explore trauma-informed practices grounded in research and the conditions of chronic stress on the brain, and discover strategies for supporting themselves and each other's social and emotional competencies at school and beyond.
