Teachers First! (TF)
Recent studies reveal alarming results of teachers being overstressed at work. This does not contribute towards effective students’ learning.
We invite educators to stop for a moment and re-discover their passion for teaching and life. This 8 day course helps teachers to explore tools and methods for stress management, well-being and resilience.
