TeachWell is a new approach to educator professional development, resilience, and retention. TeachWell offers professional development to educators in a safe, supportive environment where they will increase their understanding of the social emotional needs of their students through reflecting on their own experiences.
This innovative approach combines Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills, Restorative Practices (RP) and Mindfulness as a means to increase the overall wellness of the educator, which in turn, benefits the overall wellness of their students and increases student success. TeachWell goes beyond a traditional training model to offer teachers an experience that facilitates their development as an educator. We believe that educators must be well to teach well.
“In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities in life. ”
