NSTU: Carrying it All: Teacher Wellness and Resilience
Presenter: Jennifer Moriarty
Session Description:
All of our plates are full, overflowing most days. We have really incredible careers that allow us to enrich the lives of so many others but far too often we spend the busy days letting our plates get bogged down with things that are well beyond our control. Through a lived chapter that left little room for anything but a full audit on where Jennifer stood in all parts of her life- professionally and personally. She shares her journey in a candid capacity and connects others with the tools and guidance that allowed her to keep “living the dream” in the classroom and beyond. Teaching is a work of heart and in this time shared together we will make sure that your heart makes it “to Retirement and Beyond!”

NBTA: (WEDNESDAY ONLY)
Teaching on the Move: Simple Strategies to Get Students Active Indoors & Outdoors
Presenter: Mae Cameron
Session Description:
Classrooms are not confined to four walls—and neither are students’ learning needs. This 90-minute outdoor session is designed for K–12 educators interested in incorporating movement into everyday instruction with minimal extra planning. Participants will explore practical strategies for getting students up and moving during lessons, both indoors and outdoors, without sacrificing curriculum expectations or instructional time. The focus is on simple, low-prep approaches that can be layered onto existing lessons across subjects and grade levels.
Educators will experience movement-based activities firsthand, reflect on how they could be adapted for varied learners, and discuss real-world logistics such as transitions, safety, and classroom management. An important component of the session will be collaborative lesson redesign: participants are asked to bring a previously taught lesson plan, which we will modify in small groups to incorporate meaningful movement and/or opportunities to take learning outside.
Teachers will leave with adaptable strategies, example templates, and renewed confidence in making learning more active, accessible, and enjoyable for all students. Whether teaching primary, middle years, or high school, this session offers actionable ideas that can be implemented the very next day—no major overhaul required.
