Communities of Practice Led by Greater Good
Building Courage
As educators, we face classroom challenges, from fostering a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment to supporting students’ emotional and social development. We may also contend with broader system-level challenges, including disgruntled community members, outdated school policies, relentless workload, and time pressures—as well as students’ growing mental health issues.
Join us for a free CalHOPE Community of Practice (CoP), where you’ll explore how courage can help us be the people—and the educators—we want to be.
In this 90-minute session, you’ll:
Explore what courage looks like in the classroom and in your school community.
Identify common fears and barriers that hold us back from taking bold, values-driven action.
Learn research-based strategies to cultivate courage, even when facing resistance and uncertainty.
Engage in self-reflection and practices to strengthen your resilience and cultivate courage.

Opportunities for Your Well-Being
This workshop is the second in a three-part series, Building Educator Resilience in Uncertain Times: A CalHOPE Community of Practice.
Educators today face immense challenges—balancing student needs, navigating systemic pressures, and caring for their own well-being. In these virtual sessions with Salina Espinosa-Setchko from the Greater Good Science Center, participants will explore the science of well-being and cultivate the inner strength to meet these demands, all within a supportive community of educators across the state.
