Empathy in Action: Enhancing Support for Students and Staff

December 18th, 2024 - December 18th, 2024
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EST

Location: Virtual

Teaching and learning occur best in classrooms that consider the whole human of both the student and educator. With many educators, students, and leaders feeling stressed, burnt out, and overwhelmed, it is critical to remember how to connect, engage, and learn with and from one another. One critical way to do this is through perspective-taking, empathy, and compassion for one another. 

So, how can educators intentionally create a climate of empathy where both students and staff can thrive? 

This webinar will explore research-based, practical strategies to create inclusive school and district cultures that foster a healthier, more connected school community. The guest will share actionable insights on creating environments where students feel safe and supported, and staff can thrive.

Participants will:

  • Leave with practical ways to be intentional in supporting learning through empathy.
  • Learn about the direct and indirect impacts of educator stress on school performance, student engagement, and overall district success.
  • Discover practical solutions, frameworks, and tools to support educator and student well-being while helping them build resilience skills.
  • Gain insights into how educators can create supportive learning environments for both students and staff.

This webinar will equip you with actionable strategies to make a meaningful impact in your school community, from trauma-informed leadership practices to interpersonal growth programs that go beyond surface-level fixes.
