In classrooms where joy and curiosity are intentionally cultivated, students take on the cognitive heavy lifting. When learning is infused with a sense of wonder, engagement shifts from compliance to genuine investment. Educators can spark this transformation by designing experiences that invite exploration—through purposeful games, rich partner discourse, and thoughtfully crafted puzzles.
According to the 2025 MSTA teacher survey over 71% of educators said they have considered leaving the profession this year, with 41% of respondents saying job-related stress was a factor. The first half of this session will go over tools and practical daily habits, educators can utilize to set clear, consistent work boundaries so they can focus attention to other passions outside of school. Participants will also engage in activities, like some simple restorative stretches, that can improve their mental and physical well being. Participants will come away with new skills and supports so they can avoid the teacher burnout.
