Current research shows compassion/empathy fatigue is a real issue in Australian schools, contributing to poor staff mental health and wellbeing. The Compassionate Teacher webinar explores well ways of responding to the distress of others (students, families, colleagues). Building on Prof. Jane Dutton and Monical Worline’s model of workplace compassion (Notice – Interpret – Feel – Take Action), participants will leave with a renewed understanding of how to care for self and others in responding to student and staff needs, and learn actionable strategies to use immediately in your school context.
Participants will learn:
