SXSW EDU 2025
Capacity, Care & Community for Educators
Description:
“We are a community of possibilities, not a community of problems.” This quote from author Peter Block encapsulates the hope that many in the K-12 education space possess after several challenging years for teachers, principals, and most of all, students. During this panel discussion, leaders from Western Governors University and school districts will take a deep dive into an approach that prioritizes solutions, creativity, and forward-thinking when it comes to the well-being of our nation’s teachers and school administrators, and how they can work together to execute these solutions.
