Beyond Self-Care

So often, educators' conversations about well-being begin and end with self-care, without addressing all aspects of educator wellness. Author Gail Markin explores the importance of well-being at individual, group, and system levels, as well as the role of leadership in supporting cultures of well-being. Using research-based practices and excerpts of conversations from working educators, Markin delivers a guidebook to healthier, more passionate schools.This book will help K-12 leaders:Understand why well-being matters in educationLearn about research-based, SEL-focused self-care practicesImprove their leadership skills to better support well-being in their school communityAccess real-world examples that illustrate how these practices workBuild better systems to improve both personal and collective well-beingContents:IntroductionChapter 1: The Why-Why Well-Being MattersChapter 2: The Self-The Beauty of and the Problems With Self-CareChapter 3: The Other-Social Connection and BelongingChapter 4: The Other-Psychological SafetyChapter 5: The System-Change Is PossibleConclusionAppendicesReferences and ResourcesIndex
