Description

In the summer of 2020, we investigated what our two-year colleagues had done to cope with the stress of teaching during the pandemic. We followed up with our colleagues this past fall to investigate their ongoing experience. This webinar presents what was learned and offers recommendations for navigating what lies ahead, including specific skills to help cope with the stress of professional roles at community and technical colleges. 

Learning Outcomes: 

  1. Participants can meaningfully reflect on their own pandemic pivot. 

  1.  Participants can describe the risks of burnout they might experience on their own campuses. 

  1.  Participants can list three specific skills to help them cope with the stress of their professional roles. 

Learners will have the option to earn a certificate of attendance or a certificate with CEUs upon completion of the webinar. To earn a certificate with CEUs, the learner must successfully pass the learning assessment with a score of 80% or higher. All learners must complete the webinar evaluation to earn credentials. 

The duration of this webinar is one hour, which is equal to 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
