Instructors face many challenges that can lead to decreased well-being or even burnout. And academia can perpetuate inequities across roles and labor. These workshops are designed to invite reflection and empower faculty with the knowledge to prevent (or manage) burnout, 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 any session, as your schedule allows.

Workshop Details
Workshop #1 Setting Boundaries by Defining your Scope of Practice
Want to clarify your work boundaries? Learning about and defining your scope of practice as an educator may help. A scope of practice focuses on (re)defining your role qualifications and responsibilities. Join us for this in-person workshop to explore your scope of practice, 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
Workshop #2 Cultivating Vitality Through Intentional Rest
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 improved well-being.
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
