​​Do you still love your job, but you just don't know how much longer you can do it? This yearlong program is devoted to helping educators “fill the well” by providing space and time for personal restoration and professional renewal. We will read, write, and learn together in a small community to explore the concept of “sustainable teaching” and to develop resiliency and mindfulness practices that might actually help you stay in this profession for the long haul. 

LOCATION: 
Colorado State University,
Fort Collins
