High School Teacher Leads Dialogue with Administrators and Educators To Serve DC Youth

Outside the classroom educators are planning to address the presence of burnout and the invaluable opportunities available with tailored professional development and wellness programs

November 8, 2023

WASHINGTON (November 8, 2023) - As the crime rate continues to spike in the metropolitan area with area youth, residents living in the District are raising legitimate concerns for their safety. As residents seem to be equally torn in the best decision forward, educators weigh in on the conversation. Teresa Lasley has been a teacher for nearly two decades and is helping frontline educators align with joy in order to sustain positive impact for their students everyday.

Instructional Gym, a growing provider of teacher professional development and wellness solutions, announces a free webinar tailored to the needs of educators in Washington, DC. The organization has empowered teachers as well as administrators with tools, strategies, and resources. These resources will support teacher development and well-being. This informative event, titled Strengthening Our Educators: Aligning Passion for Joyful Impact will be held on November 15 at 6:30 pm.

“Every classroom deserves joy and laughter and through aligning our passion we are able to elevate our impact for the students that we serve,” said Lasley, Founder of Instructional Gym.
