GESU SCHOOL’S 25th Annual Symposium

Long before COVID-19, school life was growing ever more complex. Expectations kept rising, but budgets, staffing, and facilities didn’t. Then came a lethal pandemic that upended everything in schools, followed by a racial reckoning and a toxic political controversy about schools. The result: unprecedented pressure on teachers and leaders, which has damaged morale and confidence and caused many to leave the field. How can educators respond constructively? How can they maintain their caring, energy, and competence? Robert Evans, Ed.D. will outline practical ways to reduce stress and restore hope both individually and as a school community.
