Parents who work in educa
tion often carry two full-time roles: supporting students all day and cari
ng for their own families at home. Over time\, this constant giving create
s a burnout loop: pushing through exhaustion\, feeling guilty for being de
pleted\, and continuing to overextend because it feels like the only optio
n.
In this session\, participants will learn how to break that loop
through three key shifts: awareness\, interruption\, and identity
. Attendees will hear insights and real-world reflections from\,
Erin Shook\, a veteran educator and mom of four who has lived this cycle f
irsthand and supports other educator parents in creating more sustainable
ways to work and live.

In this session\, high school teachers will discover
how to integrate Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies into cont
ent-heavy classrooms. Often seen as an "either/or" relationship\, this ses
sion shows how SEL and academic instruction can work together. Teachers wi
ll leave with practical\, research-backed strategies that can be easily in
corporated into their existing curriculum\, enhancing both student well-be
ing and academic success. By blending SEL with content\, teachers can crea
te a more supportive\, engaging classroom without sacrificing rigor. \
