The Teacher’s Life: Guided Reflection for Renewal

The Teacher’s Life: Guided Reflection for Renewal

Virtual Workshop

Facilitated by: Bill Breen, Anoka-Ramsey Community College and 2016 Board of Trustees Educator of the Year

The teacher’s life is a tempest of prepping, grading, emails, technology challenges, and committee work. By the time we reach the classroom, rather than inspired educators, we often feel like shipwrecked survivors washed upon the shore. Even on our best days, the inner voices of anxiety, imposter syndrome, martyr complex, and comparisons with colleagues can discourage and deplete us. And, of course, all of these challenges and anxieties have only been compounded through the pandemic.

This workshop offers an opportunity to hit the pause button on our professional lives, a time to reflect and reset our intentions for this work we love. We’ll use guided freewriting and discussion to reconnect with our passion for teaching, dispel the false narratives that burden us with doubt, and set healthy work-life boundaries. Based on these reflections, we will come away with some personal touchstones to continue to center our joy for teaching and protect ourselves from the rest.
