Sunday October 4, 2026 4:30pm - 6:00pm EDT
Room 6
Your teachers love the mission and the work and care deeply about students and community. But many are quietly asking, “Can I keep doing this and have a life?” In this session, go deeper with the research and data collected from SAIS motivation & engagement surveys and focus groups. Unpack what's driving burnout and attrition in our schools. Bring your toughest challenges into the conversation and learn from colleagues who are finding real solutions around workload, compensation, and sustainable career pathways.
