NACCTEP

In this episode of NACCTEP Now, Julie Ferin sits down with the incredible Dr. Tina Boogren for a conversation that every educator and leader needs right now. Drawing from her work as an award-winning educator, bestselling author, and national speaker, Dr. Boogren brings both research and real-life experience to the forefront. She shares powerful insights on educator burnout, the difference between stress and burnout, and why sustainable teaching starts with taking care of the adult in the room. What makes this conversation stand out is how practical it is. From “micro choices” to redefining wellness as something achievable, not overwhelming, listeners will walk away with simple, actionable steps they can apply immediately in their own lives and programs.

Dr. Boogren’s voice is both honest and hopeful. She reminds us that this work is hard, but it can also be joyful and sustainable with the right approach. Her perspective on supporting educators across different career phases, along with her emphasis on leadership responsibility in shaping a culture of wellness, makes this episode especially impactful for those in educator preparation and leadership roles.
