Self Care for Educators - Course #190076 (Virtual)

Click Here to Register
Self-Care for Educators is a hybrid course with face-to-face (or zoom required) introduction and closing with self-paced modules and on-line community building every other week. The course participants will be able to define what Self-Care is, why it is important and how it can impact their personal well-being, family life, student interactions and work with colleagues. Through the completion of the course, participants will be expected to complete self-assessments, develop a Self-Care implementation plan (across multiple domains), implement a Self-Care plan and reflect on their implementation personally and through group processing.

While there are requirements to pass this course, the hope of the instructors is that educators truly learn to practice self-care. Self-care is something that can be practiced for 30 minutes at one time or practiced several times throughout the day. The instructors want participants to create self-care plans that are manageable and work for them without creating anxiety for due dates and deadlines.

Suicide Risk Assessment Training - Course #180546 (Virtual)

February 23, 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. 
Green Hills AEA’s course, Suicide Risk Assessment Training, provides an in-depth guide for administrators, counselors, and all other staff involved in suicide risk assessments at the district level. Using the book Suicide in Schools, participants will learn best practices and discover resources surrounding suicide pre and postvention efforts. Suicide loss impacts the entire school community, and crisis response is crucial. While there is no set legal precedent for a school’s responsibility in the event of a suicide, it is in a district’s best interest to be proactive in crisis planning including suicide pre and postvention training, policy development. An important factor in successful crisis planning includes administrative support and buy-in to such initiatives, so administrators are encouraged to attend this training.
NOTE: $50 Materials Fee
