The Well Teacher Groups
Being a teacher today is not easy. The demands that educators face inside and outside the classroom make it difficult for many teachers to maintain their physical and mental health. Challenging classroom dynamics and supporting family and friends leaves educators with little time to focus on their personal well-being.
The Well Teacher Groups is an online/in-person group-based program that provides educators the time and space to work with their colleagues and a trained wellness facilitator to work on their wellness.
The Well Teacher Book Club
As you will learn through reading The Well Teacher, we believe there are two ways to become a well teacher: first, by changing the things you can personally control, and; second, by creating a well teacher environment and support system. The more open, communicative, and empathetic the environment, the easier it is for everyone to achieve great wellness. Creating a The Well Teacher Book Club is a great step towards that end.
Wellness Workshops
Presentations + Keynotes
Humanworks provides dozens of The Well Teacher wellness workshops, webinars, presentations, and keynotes each year across the country (in-person and virtual) within the whole education sector.
