Thanks for joining us! The summit aims to provide early college educators, administrators, researchers, and advocates the opportunity to gather for focused learning and networking around the shared goal of postsecondary access and success for every student. As we engage in time for learning and rejuvenation, we are reminded that we are building connections to foster excellence, share expertise, and amplify student success. The theme of this year’s summit is "Innovating for Student Success," and we hope you come away inspired with innovative insights and new ideas that strengthen your work in service to students and your school communities.
Teachers and school staff have stressful jobs. Daily challenges such as providing coverage for staffing shortages, breaking up student fights, interpersonal conflict, or processing vicarious trauma from student neglect/abuse can take a toll if not properly addressed. Peer support can help staff navigate these challenges while promoting positive mental health, resiliency, teacher retention, and a safer environment for everyone.
