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!
