3:30p-4:30p GENERAL SESSION - Varion Howard: Se7en the Poet - The Institutional Child Trauma of the Educator. The well-being of educators directly impacts the well-being of students, yet institutional pressures often leave teachers and leaders carrying invisible burdens. In this thought-provoking keynote, Se7en explores how systemic challenges create “educator trauma” and offers pathways to healing, resilience, and restored purpose. Combining his expertise in counseling and education with the power of spoken word, he delivers a moving call to action: that caring for the educator is the first step in transforming the institution.
