From Burnout to Bliss: Transforming Workplace Culture

As we face a sustained teacher shortage, how can school and district leaders dismantle burnout culture and provide educators with the support they need to be successful in this profession long term? Join author Jamilah Pitts, school leader Marcus Johnson, and Emily Hemmingson from the Teacher Wellness Center for a discussion that goes far beyond self-care and spirit days.

As a queer Filipinx, she understands just how important it is to be represented, be valued, and belong. She especially loves being a thought partner for and celebrating teachers.
