Acknowledgement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
We recognize that wellness and resiliency are deeply influenced by broader social, cultural, and historical factors. Many educators experience systemic barriers\u2014including racism, colonialism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination\u2014that impact their health, well-being, and access to supportive resources.<\/p>\n\n
We acknowledge and honour the diverse identities, experiences, and strengths of educators. This learning space is committed to fostering understanding, compassion, and collaborative action that contribute to more equitable and inclusive environments where all educators can thrive.<\/p>\n\n
We also recognize that many of the factors that contribute to educator stress and burnout are structural and outside of individual control. Under-resourced classrooms, inequitable policies, excessive workloads, and systemic injustice are not problems that can be solved through personal resilience alone.<\/p>\n\n
This module is not suggesting that educators are the problem, nor that self-care or personal strategies alone are the solution. Instead, our aim is to support educators in navigating what is within their control\u2014building awareness, identifying sustainable practices, and accessing supportive networks\u2014while also acknowledging the need for institutional change and collective responsibility.<\/p>\n\n
By centring both individual well-being and systemic context, we hope to create space for reflection, connection, and advocacy that supports long-term, meaningful change<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Acknowledgement"},"subContentId":"d0e57004-8337-41ae-83fa-981110abf8ae"},"useSeparator":"enabled"},{"content":{"params":{"playerMode":"full","fitToWrapper":false,"controls":true,"autoplay":false,"playAudio":"Play audio","pauseAudio":"Pause audio","contentName":"Audio","audioNotSupported":"Your browser does not support this audio","files":[{"path":"audios\/files-687bfc087f40a.mp3","mime":"audio\/mpeg","copyright":{"license":"U"}}]},"library":"H5P.Audio 1.5","metadata":{"contentType":"Audio","license":"U","title":"Acknowledgement"},"subContentId":"9136fcca-ddf1-45fd-8169-389dd991c876"},"useSeparator":"disabled"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"

Stress and Burnout<\/h3>\n\n
Educators play a vital role in shaping learning environments, supporting students\u2019 growth, and building strong communities. Yet the demands of teaching can be relentless. Heavy workloads, time pressures, emotional labour, and the expectation to \u201cdo more with less\u201d often lead to chronic stress. Over time, this can contribute to burnout.<\/p>\n\n
When educators experience prolonged stress or burnout, it doesn\u2019t just affect them individually. It can impact classroom climate, instructional quality, and relationships with students, families, and colleagues. Stress can diminish patience and empathy, increase absenteeism, and contribute to turnover, all of which can disrupt students\u2019 learning and sense of stability.<\/p>\n\n
Conversely, when educators are supported in caring for their wellness, the benefits are far-reaching. Nurturing well-being builds resilience, helps maintain enthusiasm and creativity, and strengthens educators\u2019 capacity to connect meaningfully with learners. A culture that values and invests in educator wellness contributes to a healthier, more positive school climate, where everyone, students and staff alike, can thrive.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"909ef36e-f13d-47e1-ba29-efe4265533f5"},"useSeparator":"enabled"},{"content":{"params":{"mode":"normal","dialogs":[{"text":"

Emotional wellness helps us respond to stress and adversity with greater self-awareness and adaptability. It supports emotional self-regulation, strengthens interpersonal relationships, and acts as a buffer against burnout (Gawlik et al., 2024; Montoya & Summers, 2021). When emotional wellness is nurtured, we\u2019re better equipped to manage these demands without losing sight of our own needs and values, leading to healthier boundaries across all areas of life. A strong foundation of emotional wellness improves our capacity to navigate daily challenges, recover from setbacks, and remain steady in the face of ongoing stress. It allows us to adapt, connect, and care for others without disconnecting from ourselves.

For educators, emotional wellness means managing your inner world while navigating a profession that often demands emotional energy. To strengthen this area:<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Check in with your emotions regularly, especially during stressful times like report cards or parent interviews.<\/span><\/li>\n\t
Use journaling or gratitude reflections to process difficult days or celebrate small wins.<\/span><\/li>\n\t

Financial Wellness and Resiliency<\/h3>\n\n
Financial wellness and resilience are closely connected, as both reflect a person\u2019s ability to manage money effectively while preparing for unexpected challenges. The Seymour Financial Resilience Index defines financial resilience as a household\u2019s capacity to withstand financial hardships, stressors, and shocks brought on by unplanned life events (Coherent Digital., 2021). This resilience is measured through multiple indicators, such as access to emergency savings, ability to meet financial obligations, confidence in achieving short-term goals, and responsible debt management (Coherent Digital., 2021). Together, these factors not only shape a person's resilience but also form the foundation of financial wellness. A financially well individual makes informed decisions, sets achievable goals, and lives within their means, all of which are reflected in stronger resilience scores. By nurturing both financial habits and emotional preparedness, individuals can move from financial vulnerability toward long-term stability and well-being.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.Text 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"10b64597-d4ff-4230-ba95-1e30eafde501"}],"header":"Resilience"},{"position":{"x":9.523809523809524,"y":77.07093253968253},"alwaysFullscreen":true,"content":[{"params":{"text":"

Intellectual Wellness and Resiliency <\/h3>\n\n
A key principle in Intellectual wellness is encouraging a growth mindset, which plays a powerful role in building resilience. By actively engaging our minds, through reflection, critical thinking, and learning, we become better equipped to adapt to challenges and view setbacks not as failures, but as opportunities for growth. Resilient individuals take ownership of their well-being rather than allowing circumstances to define them (IE Center for Health and Well\u2011Being, 2023). They acknowledge pain and difficulty but use their mental strength to bounce back, often drawing on lessons learned along the way. This mindset mirrors intellectual wellness in action: staying curious, managing thoughts, and choosing positive perspectives. When we foster intellectual growth and embrace challenges with a willingness to learn, we build both the inner strength and cognitive tools to thrive, even in adversity.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.Text 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"6d05976c-c997-4d73-9dee-741596187670"}],"header":"Resilience"},{"position":{"x":10.052910052910052,"y":75.25938735177866},"alwaysFullscreen":true,"content":[{"params":{"text":"

Personal Awareness as a Foundation for Collective Growth<\/h2>\n\n
Understanding our personal experiences of stress and wellness also requires looking inward. As educators, our beliefs, assumptions, and interactions are shaped by lived experience\u2014and sometimes by unconscious bias<\/strong>. Introspective tools can help us become more aware of how these biases may influence our responses to students, colleagues, and ourselves.<\/p>\n\n
One valuable tool is the Harvard Implicit Association Test (IAT)<\/strong>. The IAT measures the strength of automatic associations between concepts (such as race, gender, age) and evaluations or stereotypes. During the test, you\u2019ll be asked to quickly sort words and images into categories using your keyboard. The speed and accuracy of your responses can reveal automatic preferences or biases you may not be consciously aware of.<\/p>\n\n
Developing self-awareness<\/strong> is a foundational step toward more inclusive, supportive school communities. When we understand our own biases, we are better equipped to challenge them\u2014and to foster environments where all educators and learners feel respected and valued.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"6f6157b4-f081-454d-808d-bb65bdbe1b14"},"useSeparator":"enabled"},{"content":{"params":{"linkWidget":{"protocol":"https:\/\/","url":"implicit.harvard.edu\/implicit\/selectatest.html"},"title":"Harvard Implicit Bias Test"},"library":"H5P.Link 1.3","metadata":{"contentType":"Link","license":"U"},"subContentId":"c037f8ce-c506-4711-828f-40e3e2bbf647"},"useSeparator":"disabled"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"
