Two modes for promoting resilience
Synchronous solutions…
The overarching goal of this program is retention. Through stress inoculation, faculty will use our unique Resilience Rubric, to prepare for the challenges of being an educator, causing burnout. Each member will construct a unique Prosilience Plan that helps identify and remediate risk factors, generated in both their personal and professional lives. There are two options:
Option #1 (Trailblazers): Each school identifies faculty with the greatest potential for success. These faculty members are led through a six month program to develop skills to help them become more successful. These faculty members will resonate success, inspiring others to greatness. In the second year, Resilience Advocates (RA's) will learn how to bring this work into their classrooms to promote student success.
Option #2 (New Hires): Faculty in their first two years of employment with the district. Our meetings will occur on the last Tuesday of each month (holiday exceptions), from 2:30-3:15, lasting approximately 45 minutes. During this time, an expert facilitator will guide the group through a combination of content and process, helping form an invaluable support net
Asynchronous solutions…
include on-demand video engagements on a range of topics from behavioral health to physical wellness. Faculty (and parents) can learn the rubric for developing greater resilience, to reduce stress and increase longevity.

Success Stories

I can't thank Jared Scherz and his team at Teacher Coach enough for the afternoon of Wellness and Laughter they provided for our staff. We had a last minute calendar change and not only was Jared able to meet our expectations, they by far exceeded them. All the cards were stacked against this program being successful. It was a day in May, the week of NJSLA testing, students had an early dismissal but not the teachers. However, right from the start the presenters got the staff involved and the teachers were eager participants. We had a comedian and a game show plus two massage therapists. The afternoon couldn't have gone any better. We received nothing but positive comments (which is unheard of). I can't thank Jared and his team enough for an exceptional experience. We can't wait to partner with you again!
