CITL Summer Institute 2026

As the school year winds down, educators often find themselves exhausted, emotionally stretched, and already thinking ahead to next year. This interactive workshop is designed specifically for participants who want to end the year with intention rather than depletion. Participants will explore practical, research‑informed strategies to restore energy, reduce stress, and protect their well‑being after one of the most demanding times of the academic calendar. Through guided reflection, peer connection, and simple nervous‑system regulation practices, participants will leave with tools they can use immediately. Educators cannot pour from an empty cup. Ending the year well sets the foundation for starting the next one strong. This workshop balances reflection with action, offering space to acknowledge challenges while focusing on renewal and sustainability.
