Facilitators: Allison Boye, Texas Tech University
As educational developers, we focus on helping others, experiencing the same stressors faced by the faculty with whom we work and then some, but perhaps without enough opportunities to reflect on our own well-being. Through discussion of research, collective experience, surveys and interviews, participants in this session will explore educational developers’ encounters with burnout and compassion fatigue; assess their own levels of stress and resilience; identify tangible, realistic strategies for practicing better self-care; and establish a network of support that might help us all re-engage with our work, define what matters for us, and find greater satisfaction and success.
