Empowered Teachers: Rediscover Your Motivation and Energy

Table of Contents

Description

Empowerment is the process of becoming stronger and more confident in controlling our lives, claiming our rights, and expressing our full potential.

Today’s educators face unprecedented, exciting challenges, yet rarely receive proper training on how to stay motivated and thrive overtime in their careers. Lack of autonomy, support, and recognition often drains educators of energy and enthusiasm, bringing otherwise dedicated teachers to the edge of burnout.

Stress reduction, assertive communication, healthy boundaries, and a growth mindset are just some of the key ingredients that generate that amazing feeling of empowerment in the school community.

Understanding what is outside of our control and what is within our control is the first step toward greater clarity of purpose and possibility. Reflecting on our needs, inspirations, and goals will help create a personal roadmap of where we are and where we want to go.

Empowered educators are aware of what they need for their well-being, self-determination, and self-actualization, and can foster it in their learners. Through the course activities, strategies, and reflections, participants create their own unique empowerment toolkit to bring back to their professional and personal lives. You deserve it!

I loved the course. The trainer is really talented and gets you to be really interested in everything she does. I would definitely sign up for another course if I'd know what she will be teaching. It was really interesting.

The Trainer created a warm and caring environment. Our trainer helped to make us feel very comfortable. She created an atmosphere where we could work together and benefit from every single aspect of this course. I feel lucky to have worked with such amazing people from Romania and Turkey. I am thankful for our teacher and all of the work she did for us.

I liked the way the trainer followed in leading us through drama, always relating all the moment's with real situations we could get in school with pupils. Our trainer was also sensitive to everyone particularities and respected them, always trying antitoxin bring us all together.
