Beyond Self-Care: Leading a Systemic Approach to Well-Being for Educators (a Practical Guide for K-12 Leaders to Create Systemic Change

So often, educators' conversations about well-being begin and end with self-care, without addressing all aspects of educator wellness. Author Gail Markin explores the importance of well-being at individual, group, and system levels, as well as the role of leadership in supporting cultures of well-being. Using research-based practices and excerpts of conversations from working educators, Markin delivers a guidebook to healthier, more passionate schools.

• Understand why well-being matters in education
• Learn about research-based, SEL-focused self-care practices
• Improve their leadership skills to better support well-being in their school community
