By the end of the lecture, you will have learned the biology of resilience, tools to use in stressful moments and how to implement systems that are sustainable for you and those you serve. 

You will leave knowing how your well-being is integral to the impact you wish to make on the world.

Kelly Knoche After seeing many of her colleagues leave through her years in Oakland Unified and experiencing the stressors of teaching in an under-resourced school system, she became determined to find simple, low-cost solutions to building teacher resilience.

The Teaching Well is proud to have served over 500 educators in a variety of schools since its humble beginnings with successful increases in teacher retention.
