We invite you to register for the upcoming workshop series The Happy Educator: Wellbeing at Work with Dr Robert Biswas-Diener.
|
|
The work of education is stressful. It is difficult to manage the classroom, conform to policy requirements, deal with negative colleagues, balance home and work, and take care of one’s self. As a result, many teachers struggle with feelings of frustration and overwhelm in what should otherwise be an energizing profession.
|
|
|
This workshop offers participants a unique approach to creating well-being at work: by learning skills to better cope with negativity and by learning to build on positive experiences.
