Tuesday Mar 25, 2025
In this episode, we welcome Jalene Tamerat, educator, leader, and advocate for teacher sustainability. As a faculty member at Boston University Wheelock College of Education, she leads initiatives supporting leadership and teacher diversification. Jalene is also co-author of Education Across Borders and a consultant for the MA Department of Elementary & Secondary Education.
Today, we explore her passion project, Kintsugi Educator Retreats, designed to help teachers of Color unwind, heal, and sustain their passion for teaching. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, these retreats provide restorative spaces to process challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with purpose.
Join us as we discuss:
- Why rest and renewal are essential for teachers of Color
- The systemic challenges leading to burnout
- How retreats and wellness practices foster longevity in education
This episode is a must-listen for educators and advocates committed to sustaining and supporting teachers of Color.
