Rooted Teaching in Uncertain Times

Practical strategies for teaching through disruption, burnout, and change—so you can show up with clarity, care, and courage.

The classroom climate has shifted. For many of us, teaching feels more politicized, more unpredictable, and more exhausting than ever.


Rooted Teaching in Uncertain Times is a three-part, small-group workshop series designed to help you navigate this reality with steadiness.


That means you’ll leave not just with ideas, but with clear, personalized action steps you can use immediately in your teaching.

Who This Is For:

  • Faculty teaching in politically tense or high-pressure environments
  • Instructors navigating AI’s impact on teaching and assessment
  • Educators seeking practical, sustainable rhythms for teaching without burnout
  • Anyone wanting to feel more grounded and prepared before the semester begins
