Finding Our Way
April 22, 2024 | 11:30A CST / 12:30P EST
Ignite the passion in students, energize educators, and tackle the college navigation challenge by harnessing the power of Purpose & Belonging Informed Education.
As the dust begins to settle from a tumultuous past few years, a new problem is emerging: A college and career navigation crisis.: A significant number of graduates express regret about their experiences, only 1 in 3 build meaningful relationships with mentors, and a mere 1 in 10 feel prepared for the workforce. Coupled with an escalating burnout epidemic among staff and faculty, a concerning picture emerges:
We are all struggling to find our way.
Timothy Klein, LCSW, has dedicated his career to assisting students and educators alike in overcoming daily pressures and uncovering a better path, a framework, and a set of questions that allow them to rediscover their "true north": the inherently inspiring and noble goals that attracted them to education initially.
Tim will show how to leverage purpose and belonging can help students become more motivated and confident, while at the same time helping educators become more engaged in their work, more resilient against daily stressors, and more likely to see education as their true calling.
In this highly engaging presentation, participants will discover that to better support our students, our staff, and ourselves, we don't have to do "more."
Join a clinical therapist, researcher, and educator as he unveils his award-winning work on purpose and belonging. Tim will demonstrate how what benefits educators also benefits students. He will delve into the science of purpose and reveal why purpose-driven students are more engaged in school, enjoy greater success in college, and are more likely to thrive in their careers and lives.
Educators and administrators will leave with evidence-based best practices and practical strategies to immediately implement in their schools. Klein will guide every school leader on how to revolutionize their schools and empower their teachers by embracing the potential of purpose and belonging-centered education.
