The single greatest influence in a classroom is the teacher, who has an innate, selfless desire to inspire and motivate students. These efforts to support students can often come at the expense of a teacher’s own well-being. But not anymore. It’s time to be SELFISH!

In this edWebinar, Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Columbus Batiste, the “Healthy Heart Doc,” writes a prescription to be S.E.L.F.I.S.H. At the conclusion of this edWebinar, viewers are able to:

• Recognize the effects of stress on the body
• Understand the relationship between stress and learning/relationships/chronic disease
• Identify the seven transformative principles of the acronym S.E.L.F.I.S.H.

From efforts to help students who are bullied, depressed, and/or anxious to the pressures of standardized tests, mounting demands on their time, overcrowded classrooms, and more, teacher stress is real. View this session to get SELFISH so you can take better care of yourself and your students—doctor’s orders!

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers, school counselors, librarians, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders of all grade levels.
