CASLT's Online Professional Learning Webinar:
Enjoying a Sense of Well-Being and Passion for Teaching: Finding Meaning
Tuesday, October 26
4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time (English)
Presented by Nancy Goyette
Description:
Teaching is a complex profession with constant challenges such as excessive workloads and emotional overload. The need to continually adapt to rapidly changing circumstances and needs can make it particularly difficult to ensure one’s daily well-being. And yet countless teachers, despite having faced various obstacles while performing their job, are still passionate and optimistic. This begs the question: how we can manage an ongoing emotional load while best adapting to the daily problems we encounter? How can we evoke a sense of well-being while teaching, and what can we do to stay passionate while looking for meaning in our profession? How can we maximize our potential to persevere? This session will address the matter of well-being and passion among teachers. It will consider how to foster well-being in the workplace by highlighting the strengths and skills teachers can use to adopt a more positive outlook towards the various situations they face in academic environments. Lastly, it will propose strategies to foster greater workplace motivation and support for a positive professional identity.
This session is open to all active CASLT members.

Centro MundoLengua's scholarship for Spanish teachers
The Spanish school Centro MundoLengua is pleased to offer a full scholarship to one of BCATML’s Spanish teachers.
The winner will have the opportunity to participate for free in one of our Spanish courses for Spanish teachers, in collaboration with the University of Cadiz.
Our Spanish teacher courses are specially designed to allow each teacher to develop and consolidate their skills in a Spanish speaking environment. Whether you are just starting your career or are an expert in teaching Spanish, you will discover new tools and resources to bring your Spanish classes to life!
Classes at the University of Cadiz are complemented by a program of cultural visits and activities. For a more authentic experience, accommodation is organized in one of our carefully selected Spanish host families.
The program will take place in Cadiz, the oldest city in Western Europe. Cadiz has an incredible historical, cultural, artistic and gastronomic heritage. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, Cadiz is also famous for its magnificent sandy beaches.
