Today’s educators face a unique and growing set of challenges. Compared to students 10-20 years ago, today’s youth navigate a world of unprecedented social, emotional, and technological pressures. This shift often manifests in disengaged learners, increased behavioral issues, and a collective strain on school culture. Teachers and leaders feel the impact—frustration, burnout, and a sense of being stuck in a cycle that feels impossible to break. This workshop will also connect brain science with practical shifts in adult behavior and mindset, highlighting how Collective Teacher Efficacy can drive lasting improvement in student engagement, behavior, and achievement. Using the metaphor of travel upgrades, participants will leave equipped to create a first-class experience for both students and staff by focusing on small but impactful changes in language, actions, and beliefs.
