Upcoming Professional Learning Academy Programs

Description: Today’s early education leaders are juggling many tasks and working very hard to support children, families, and communities during these immensely stressful and uncertain times. In recent years, early education settings have had to adjust and reinvent themselves to respond to unprecedented challenges. As these leaders face their workloads and keep their focus on children, families, and educators, it is crucial to consider that they are supported in this work; effectively supporting others starts with understanding one’s own stressors and having strong leadership strategies to manage and reduce their own stress. Join the Zaentz Early Education Initiative on April 30 to hear from Harvard Graduate School of Education faculty, who will discuss the science and signs of adult stress, the importance of mitigating stress for adults, and strategies to support their own well-being.
