[Teacher and Adminstrator Well-Being]

Our Capstone project focused on educator wellness and its impact  on education.

My role on the team was to address the impact of educator wellness on new teachers. I addressed the psychological aspect using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in addition to looking how tangible methods can be used by local, building, district, and state leadership to meet educator's needs. It is needed to assist in retaining our talent. 

I had the opportunity to work with a cohort of educators from diverse backgrounds using our funds of knowledge to create an impactful product as well as a feasible plan.

Our professors and our educator supervisor, as well as other school of education personnel, felt that we did a superior job. Educator wellness is at the forefront nationally and statewide. Sessions were attributed to this content at Alabama's Mega Educator Conference located in Mobile, Alabama, which takes place annually in July. Indvidually, we were able to take away strategies we can use for ourselves and our schools.
