Educator burnout, high turnover, and youth stress directly impact success in all learning spaces. At PEAR, we believe that all people deserve to learn, dream, and thrive, especially educators. In times of high stress, wellness must be centered by both individuals and systems. PEAR’s Centering Educator Wellness Workshop gives youth-proximate staff, managers, and administrators the practical tools, research-backed strategies, and dedicated space they need to manage stress, build resilience, and contribute to systems of community care.

Workshop Objectives

After this session, you’ll be able to:

• Organize wellness needs according social-emotional strengths

• Practice wellness strategies and develop their personal wellness toolkit

• Cultivate calmer learning environments for themselves and peers

• Plan changes they can make to support the wellness of others in their community

Join Jan Morrison, Founder and CEO Emeritus of TIES, and Dr. Gil Noam, Founder of PEAR, for a live conversation exploring how shifting STEM funding priorities, emerging technologies, and workforce demands are shaping the future of STEM education. Discover what these changes mean for schools and youth-serving organizations and how we can better prepare young people with the skills they need to thrive.

At PEAR, we believe that summer programs can meet young people’s learning and social needs in powerful ways when quality is centered. Understanding one’s programmatic strengths and the strengths of their youth and communities can lead to life-changing experiences for young people that shape the leaders they will become.
