Managing Burnout for Educators is a 45-hour, self-paced online course designed to equip educators—both people of color and white allies—with tools to recognize, manage, and prevent burnout.

In the journey toward culturally responsive-sustaining education, educators often face the heavy emotional demands of consistently engaging with students’ lived experiences, advocating for marginalized voices, and confronting systemic inequities. This essential work requires emotional resilience and strategic support to sustain its impact. 

Through this course, participants will learn strategies to cultivate self-awareness, build resilience, and foster supportive professional communities, allowing them to sustain their commitment to inclusive and transformative education.
