Learning Recovery and the Girls Voice in STEM: A Techbridge Journey

Approaching learning during this post-pandemic time with an equity and growth mindset that allows for flexibility, intersectionality, and community is critical. Within this presentation it is our goal that our audience will leave with the instructional strategies needed to create an atmosphere that will encourage their students to be fully engaged and confident in their unique way of learning, STEM spaces in particular.

November 10th

Self-Care as Organizational Care

Self-care is typically framed as the responsibility of staff as the result of inevitable working conditions that require it. This session challenges organizational leadership to take ownership of their role in providing workspaces that are conducive to personal fulfillment, growth, and wellbeing. In this session, you will assess current organizational practices and their impact on staff’s wellbeing. You will also share current best practices and learn new ones to increase staff satisfaction, wellbeing, and retention. This session is designed to examine and improve positive organizational functioning and help you shift from a reactive approach to a proactive one.
