Stress levels are high as teachers and administrators prepare for the 2020–21 school year. With all the unknown obstacles, changing requirements, and personal and professional stresses, the risk of teacher burnout is more real than ever before.
Discover how to structure your programs and provide vital support to help your teachers stay physically and emotionally healthy. By creating frameworks before the school year begins, you can take a proactive stance to help support your teachers right now.
Research has shown that stressed teachers can negatively affect student outcomes, including achievement and behavior. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact many aspects of daily life, stress is abundant—the risk of burnout is high. Therefore, it’s imperative for school leaders to plan right now.
Join this webinar to explore how you can foster an environment in which teachers can thrive. We’ll explore the signs of teacher burnout and some of the primary factors that cause stress. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to create support structures that minimize the chance of burnout before it occurs.
You'll learn how to:
- recognize the common signs of teacher burnout;
- proactively create supports that will sustain your teachers’ well-being throughout the year;
- articulate the importance of teacher well-being in the lives of students; and
- sustain a predictable and supportive environment so your teachers can thrive.
This webinar is great for:
Academic administrators including School Heads, Division Heads, Academic Deans, Deans of Faculty, Department Chairs, and others who work closely with faculty.

Personal Mission Statement
For all beings to be seen, heard, and valued.
If several of us at the school want to attend the webinar, do we each have to register and pay?
If two or more people at your school want to attend the webinar in the same location (for example, in a conference room with one monitor), then you only need to register and pay for one person who will receive the email and link. If you have people in remote locations, each person will need to register and pay separately. Essentially, a registration and payment gives you one link to the webinar.
Will I receive a reminder about the webinar I’ve just purchased?
Yes. A message will be sent to the email address you registered one or two days before the run date. You will receive a link to the webinar as well as PDF slides of the presentation you will be attending.
What happens if I miss my webinar? Will the fee be refunded?
If you’ve missed your scheduled webinar, don’t panic—you will automatically receive a link to the recorded webinar, barring any technical difficulties that prevent us from recording the session.
Will I receive a recorded version of the webinar after it concludes?
Yes, a recording of your webinar will be sent 24–48 hours after the recording concludes.
What if I have questions about the presentation? Whom do I contact?
You will be able to type questions, thoughts, and concerns in the communication box throughout the webinar. Each webinar allows 15 minutes for answering questions.
Confirmation and Cancellation Policy
We will correspond with you through email as soon as your workshop is confirmed, no later than two weeks prior to its start date. Occasionally, we may be forced to cancel an unconfirmed, scheduled workshop due to insufficient registration. So we ask that you do not make non-refundable travel arrangements until you receive notice that your workshop is confirmed. (ISM will not be responsible for any change/cancellation charges assessed by your airline or travel agent.)
Tuition Payment and Cancellation Policy for In-Person, Group-based Programs
Tuition must be paid in full 10 business days prior to the start date of the in-person, group-based program. An attendee with a balance due on the start date will be denied entrance to the program until the balance is paid in full.

- Non-payment of tuition or no-show to the event does not constitute a cancellation. Full tuition will be due and payable.
The Substitution Option and Wallet Option
Should an attendee need to cancel less than 15 days prior to the start date of the workshop, the school has two options to avoid penalty. Schools may also exercise these options at anytime for cancellations.
- The school may substitute another employee.
