Catalyst: Synergy
November 5-7
Charleston, SC
About
Have your students ever asked you what you did over the weekend? The answer is probably yes. However, in our experience the way each of us chooses to answer even this simple question indicates how much of your authentic self you are likely to share with the young people you work with. As teachers we are often told that having work/life balance is essential to being productive in the classroom. What if we told you that keeping your personal life and your professional life completely separate could potentially cause more harm than benefit?
Join Libby Golightly (Pro ‘14) and Julie Oxenhandler (Leadership ‘11) to reflect, explore, and build community with other Revolve members who still work in direct support for our students as we practice mindfulness, self-care, and, most importantly, learn strategies and tools for bringing an authentic version of yourself to your students every day.
