Self-Care in the Classroom
Courtney has led a workshop for educators on self-care in summer 2020 and summer 2021 and can customize to your needs. She is able to do virtual or in-person workshops. Courtney teaches a class on Self-Care from a global perspective at Wofford. She has experience with the pedagogy and content of this area and her approach is everyone can do self-care pedagogy it is simply a mindset shift. As high achieving academics we have all been trained under the scarcity model of graduate school and the glorification of busy was a way of life—we can untrain ourselves from the cycle of overcommitting and overachieving but it takes practice and a mentor that an help guide you to other ways of seeing and therefore other ways of doing.
Workshop themes include, but are not limited to: overcoming burnout, creating a sustainable classroom, creating a self-care ethos and practice, self-care as professional development. All workshops are reflective and experiental. The main goal is for participants to create their own unique self-care ethos, rituals and practices to help each person find their inner strength, self-compassion, positionality and self-care regime and support team.
