Course Description

• Whether you're in your 1st or 15th or 30th year of teaching, the book "Onward" is for you. Life brings constant change and challenges, and everyone could use more tools to manage the ups and downs. Moments of change bring increased stressors, calling us to intentionally boost our resilience. The 2020-2021 school year will be a year like no other; educators need to build resilience now more than ever. This book study will guide you through a different habit each month. By engaging in reflection and activities related to each habit, educators will strengthen the dispositions of resilient educators.
