This year in education has turned into a “building the plane as we fly” situation. Professional educators are being stretched in ways they never have been before. There’s no roadmap, no template, for how to teach during a pandemic. This group will provide a safe space to address the tough and hard topics that come with teaching this year. Since we are literally living during a traumatic time, we will focus on trauma-informed practices and support to help educators navigate their stressors.
