Less than a quarter of surveyed educators report that they would not recommend the teaching field to a colleague (TPT Report, 2022). The pandemic, learning loss, challenging student behavior and the social-political climate has clearly impacted how educators are experiencing their work. Educators have faced significant amounts of grief and loss that have challenged their capacity to sustain and succeed. In this session, we will unpack how current stressors have uniquely impacted educators and how they can manage grief in a time of chaos.
