Dr. Kevin Lamoureux
Seizing the Opportunity of School as a Place of Healing
Seizing the Opportunity of School as a Place of Healing
The entire K-12 education system is exhausted and depleted and many educators are struggling with very serious consequences that impact their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, but there is an opportunity for all children and staff to feel safe in school as a place of healing. “Business as usual” isn’t going to allow us to meet a post-pandemic future with resiliency, but through the work of reconciliation, we have the opportunity to engage with teachings, wisdom, and worldviews that can help us reimagine business as usual. In this presentation, Kevin will share his wisdom for the role that educators can play in charting a better path forward for how our schools can strive to become healthier and happier workplaces.
