Speaking At
Special Education Division Meeting
Monday, July 20 · 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM · Magnolia
From Burnout to Breakthrough: Curating Your Personal Library for Actionable Leadership, Organization, and Self Care Strategies for the Career-Tech Educator.
Wednesday, July 22 · 9:45 AM – 10:30 AM · Lilac
This presentation is filled with ideas to reframe how the CT educator (or any teacher) might make life as a teacher easier. Drawing from: Doing Few Things Better (Angela Watson), Attitude Is a Choice (Sam Glenn), The Energy Bus (Jon Gordon), Eat That Frog (Brian Tracy), Rigor Unveiled (Fisher, Frey, & Marshall), and The Highly Effective Teacher (Jeff C. Marshall), this presentation highlights actionable strategies related to leadership, mindset, time management, rigor, and self-care—specifically through the lens of the career-technical educator. I would ask for audience participation to share ways they could use the tips in their classroom or add to a google doc of books which the rest of the audience will have access too. For those willing to share their own "tips" I will also raffle off a copy of some of these books as gifts for participation. This will offer participants a practical “Cliff Notes” experience focused on real-world application. This session could serve as a launching point for future book studies, professional learning communities, or networking events focused on Career Technical Education, leadership development, and educator wellness.
