Teachers Are People Too! back to top

Throughout the year teachers are so busy that they rarely have time to connect and get the support they need from one another. The community created among staff and teachers in a school has a profound and direct impact on the community created among the students. These workshops are designed to pull the staff together into a strong and healthy community. Ideal times for these retreats are the beginning of the year to create a good foundation, the middle of the year to recharge each other, or the end of the year when it’s time to celebrate and really look at what needs to change. These one to two day retreats can be a great time to:

  • Create school and community goals
  • Establish lines of communication
  • Share valuable teaching strategies and ideas
  • Define key values within your community
  • Create friendships to keep your staff strong
