Welcome.

So, let’s dig in. Joy in Teaching (JiT) with Action, the program you just joined is a course divided into 11 sections or “modules”. Each module has its own title and focus and contains a variety of content from lessons, videos, PDF’s, in-course text (like this), and fillable worksheets.

The first section is the one you're in right now, called "start here" and it exists as your jumping-off point for this journey of building resilience, fighting burnout, and reclaiming your joy in teaching.

This first section is here to help orient you and provide information that is foundational to being able to get the most out of this program and your teaching.

• The very next lesson takes you through what the basic building blocks of creating the conditions necessary to build resilience as an educator.
• You will also find many ways of connecting with the JiT community.
• Then you will be taken to the in-depth course syllabus that lays out your plan of attack. You will see the flow of the course from self-inventory and reflection all the way through to filling up your toolbox full of resilience strategies and taking real action to reclaim your joy in teaching.

As you move through the course you will discover a variety of ways to interact with the content. There are videos that you can sit back and just watch, in-course texts (like this), PDF’s, fillable worksheets, inventories, guided exercises, resource links, and more. Ideas and skills will build so moving through the course in order will provide you the very best experience. But, remember, you can always revisit any lesson along the way.
