On The Right Road!

Amid the multitude of extra demands constantly being placed on educators and the alarming and growing teacher shortage crisis, it has become clear that we must find ways to ensure that teachers are well-supported and that their needs are being met. It is vital that we create school environments that can support the WHOLE teacher, environments that help them stay connected to their “why” and fulfill their servant hearts. The challenge and reality is that being of support to the whole teacher requires a much deeper level of systematic change than typical teacher appreciation efforts provide. Join Paula and her remarkable guest as they share essential, proven ideas and strategies to create positive, healthy, and support-filled environments that teachers need to thrive. And when educators thrive, they are best able to teach and help their students thrive. This promises to be a life-changing hour for anyone in education or anyone who cares about children, teachers, and the educational system. As always, awesome giveaways for educators will be a part of the initial broadcast date as well!

Join Paula and her beloved guest as they share actionable tips and techniques that will equip you to put your students center stage in their learning experiences and bring joy to you and the kids alike!

After a year of pandemic living and online learning, a whole lot of kids (and adults) have been hitting a fatigue wall. There are many related reasons, but in general, the “wall” has to do with the executive function part of our brains.
