Research Forum on Educator Wellbeing: Sharing Diverse Perspectives and Multiple Approaches

October 24-25, 2024 | Kelowna, BC

This event is a key outcome of our pan-Canadian study of wellbeing in teacher education programs, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (research team: Sabre Cherkowski, Karen Ragoonaden, Benjamin Kutsyuruba, Lorraine Godden, Keith Walker and Tim Claypool).

The goals of this forum are to share findings and practices for educator wellbeing, establish connections, expand conversations, and build community for the work of fostering and sustaining wellbeing for educators in various education systems (e.g. early childhood education, Kindergarten to grade 12 and post-secondary).

This forum is an opportunity for sharing research and practice about educator wellbeing in diverse contexts and from multiple approaches. Including:

• Mindfulness and SEL – Dr. Julia Mahfouz, University of Colorado, Denver
• Psychological Safety in School Organizations – Dr. Fei Wang, University of British
  Columbia
• Mentoring and Teacher Wellbeing – Dr. Ellen Hahn, Dr. Angela Adair, Rhonda
  Wheeler, Auburn University
