Feeling overwhelmed? Looking for clarity, connection and revitalization? Instructors face many challenges that can lead to burnout or decreased well-being. And academia can perpetuate inequities across roles and labor. This workshop series is designed to invite reflection on these inequities and empower faculty with the knowledge to prevent (or manage) burnout and decreased well-being, while uplifting the importance of rest and clarity of roles. Join colleagues for thoughtful discussion and we’ll provide coffee, tea, and light snacks. You can attend individual sessions or all three, as your schedule allows.

Session Details
Session #1 Setting Boundaries by Defining your Scope of Practice
A scope of practice is a way to guide your work life toward greater balance, freedom, and clarity. A scope of practice focuses on two questions:
- 1) What am I qualified to do in this role?
- 2) What is my responsibility in this role?
Join us for this in-person workshop where you will be invited to explore your scope of practice as an educator. Reflect on ways to clarify boundaries so you can be better positioned to support students while preserving your own well-being.
Outcomes:
- Define your scope of practice as a educator with varying roles and responsibilities
- Clarify work boundaries that still support students and preserve your own well-being
- Articulate at least one positive change you intend to make that helps maintain your scope of practice
Session #2 Cultivating Vitality Through Intentional Rest
Are you feeling exhausted, more cynical, or less effective in your work? Burnout may be knocking at your door. Come learn about preventing (or managing) burnout by recognizing the signs, contrasting burnout with vitality-enhancing behaviors, and deepening your understanding of the importance of rest. Leave with a personalized plan for intentional rest and achieving greater well-being and vitality.
Outcomes:
- Identify at least two ways to prevent or address burnout and support vitality
- Articulate at least three types of rest that apply to your life situation
- Develop a tentative strategy for adding periods of rest within your life
