You Can’t Give What You Don’t Have: 12 Self-Care Strategies for Exhausted Educators
There is a common saying that “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” How can depleted educators “refill their own cups” while working with students whose post-pandemic needs seem so all-consuming? How can administrators help exhausted teachers address feelings of compassion fatigue and burnout? In this fast-paced and entertaining session, K-12 educators will learn a dozen practical, easy-to-implement ways to better care for themselves and, as a result, better care for their students. Simple techniques that can be done in 10-minutes or less, alone or with others, before, during, or after school, will be both modeled and practiced during the presentation. In addition, four ways that school leadership can support overwhelmed teachers and mitigate burnout staff-wide will be shared. Participants will leave refreshed, inspired, and ready to support their own mental health and the mental health of those with whom they work.

Speakers
Grace Dearborn
Grace Dearborn taught in Title I schools at multiple grade levels for over 15 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to being a veteran classroom teacher, Grace has written curriculum for elementary and secondary schools. Her most recognized work includes a year-long, literacy intervention social studies course that was taught to all in-coming ninth graders at an urban, low performing high school in Oakland, California. This course resulted in a dramatic increase in state test scores, raising the school’s state score by 70 points over three years. Grace is also the co-author of two books on teaching, “Conscious Classroom Management, 2nd ed.” and “Picture This!” She is also the lead author on the book “Yeah, But What About THIS Kid?” that focuses on effective Tier 3 behavioral interventions for schools and classrooms. Besides teaching and writing, Grace has also held several other positions at the school and district levels. She has worked as a BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment) coordinator, Professional Development Coordinator, Literacy Coach, Curriculum Specialist, and Instructional Coach. And she is the creator of 4 self-paced video learning series’ for teachers that focus on classroom management, trauma-based classroom practices, and student engagement. In her current incarnation as the Executive Director of Conscious Teaching, Grace teachers workshops for schools across the country on classroom management, active engagement, and trauma-informed instruction. In addition, Grace does year-long support with Title I schools as a one-on-one instructional coach, a mentor trainer, and a leaderships and school-wide change advisor. I currently work as an independent instructional coach with Title I schools and districts all over the country, supporting classroom teachers in improving their classroom management and their instructional design to better meet the needs of their highest need and often lowest achieving students. I also train instructional coaches in how to work effectively with struggling teachers. In the past five years I have worked with teachers and instructional coaches in Omaha Public Schools in NE, Tacoma Public Schools in WA, Lakeside Public Schools in CA, Mesa Public Schools in AZ, and Comal ISD in TX. These experiences, along with my own experiences as a classroom teacher in Vallejo CA and Oakland CA, form the basis for my belief in the efficacy of the techniques I share.
