“Educator wellbeing is not a static experience; rather, it is a dynamic process in which educators continuously encounter and perceive events, leverage individual skills and system supports to manage those events, and then evaluate the outcomes to determine how one feels, both in the short term and longer term.” Educator wellbeing is more than just a buzzword – it’s essential for the success of our schools and students. We’re thrilled to share our latest resource authored by Nicholas Yoder, Charrise Phillips Hollingsworth, PhD, and Cheryl Krohn. This comprehensive report delves into the complex factors affecting educator wellbeing and outlines six actionable steps state leaders can take to enhance wellbeing initiatives in their states. It also includes examples from a multistate community of practice focused on educator and student well-being.

Drawing from their rich classroom experiences, they drive meaningful research and offer tailored technical assistance to foster lasting change in education. Dr. Revathy Kumar, GTL Center Advisory Board member and Professor of Educational Psychology at The University of Toledo shares how her previous experiences as a teacher continue to drive her passion: “I was a high school teacher at one point in time. I have been in the teacher education program for a long time now. Issues of social justice, equity, and the cultural roots of our cognitions, emotions, and behaviors, indeed our educational system, are close to my heart.”

Meet Dr. Cheryl Harris, a Senior Technical Assistant and Adult Learning and Engagement Specialist at the Center for Great Teachers and Leaders (GTL Center). Dr. Harris is committed to supporting others in designing engaging learning experiences. She is especially interested in how crafting creative processes and human-centered design into meetings generates meaningful connections, deeper thinking, and experiences that allow people to identify and make progress on the pressing questions and problems of the day. Dr. Harris’ work today is driven by an experience from her youth. She shared, “As a teenager, I was surprised when a couple who worked with teens at my church recommended me to be a teacher for a class of 4th-grade girls. I tried it out and have been teaching, going to camps, telling stories, or volunteering at local events for kids and teens ever since. I still wonder what that couple saw that let them know I had that spark for teaching. Being able to support educators in their efforts to spark an interest in learning and bringing out the special gifts in students will always be a joy to me.” With her dedication and vision to foster a true sense of connection and collaboration between adults, Dr. Harris helps people focus on asking questions that lead to identifying the solutions that lead to true change.

How can schools, families, and communities work together to reduce chronic #absenteeism? In the 2021-2022 school year, 31% of students were chronically absent, meaning that they missed more than 10% of school. These students are much less likely to read at grade level and to graduate from high school. AIR experts are studying the effectiveness of strategies and programs designed to get more kids in the classroom. From text message communication with families to early warning systems to community-focused supports, we're narrowed down four ways education leaders can harness #evidence to address attendance:
