Purpose Beyond The Classroom

Teachers give so much of themselves every day, but who supports them?

Join us for an inspiring and practical webinar designed specifically for educators and discover how to recharge as an individual, not just as a teacher.

In this session, we’ll explore retrospective strategies that foster personal fulfilment beyond lesson plans and grading. We’ll show you how to incorporate joy and purpose into the parts of your life that matter, beyond your students and their test scores.

Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, or education advocate, this webinar offers a much-needed space to reflect, recharge and reconnect with your own wellbeing.

We encourage teachers to make use of this space to redefine what brings them joy, energy and meaning. Because taking care of students starts with taking care of yourself.

Our spectacular speakers will discuss:

  • Who Am I Outside of My Role as a Teacher?
  • Reclaiming Your Time & Energy
  • Why Joy Matters for Resilience & Mental Health
  • The Joy Portfolio
  • Passion Projects with purpose
  • What Burnout Really Looks Like for Educators
