School and district leaders we speak with find themselves at a loss for how to be supportive to teachers. Teachers are as stressed as ever. Students have experienced a wide spectrum of trauma over the past two years. What are you as a leader to do? Teachers must feel supported in ways that “supports” like new curricula or new technology don’t provide, mostly because those “supports” feel like “one more thing to do” when in fact, feeling supported is what they really need and want. How? There lies the challenge, and we’re here to help!

Watch EdConnective expert instructional coaches Dr. Natasha Ward and Destiny Woodbury as they explore practical strategies for lead educators to truly support teachers, recognizing that even as teachers strive to support all students effectively, they are experiencing a range of emotions themselves. This edWebinar covers topics such as:

  • Building strong and supportive relationships
  • Empowering educators’ agency
  • Exploring individual and community identities

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to those in K-12 leadership positions including superintendents, principals and assistant principals, directors of curriculum and instruction, and lead teachers.
