In this episode we kick-off Mental Health month with founder and CEO of Educators Thriving, Dr. Tyler Hester. He shares what he describes as the five pitfalls leading to educator burnout: Overwhelm, personal neglect, conflict, unexpected challenges, and isolation. Moreover, he shares how his team is supporting schools, districts, and labor unions around the country to buck burnout through a two-pronged approach: First, they facilitate professional learning experiences in which educators can learn about, practice with, and apply strategies empirically proven to increase well-being. Second, they work alongside school and system leaders to measure the well-being of educators, analyze the results, and take strategic action on the basis of what they find. Educators Thriving envisions a world in which every educator reaches the heights of their potential – and works in a system that makes that possible. Come hear more about how they’re pursuing that important vision.
