UnSavor the Labor: Insights into Teacher Wellbeing with Tammy Gregersen

Although language teacher wellbeing is multidimensional, its elements are dynamically interconnected with all being necessary for thriving personally and professionally. This presentation will explore finding balance in our minds, bodies, emotions, motivations, relationships and the workplace in the present and the future. Research-based and practical, the concepts and activities presented will equip teachers to make choices from a variety of mediations that are most aligned with their own individual circumstances at home and in the classroom.
