Session 5   (Saturday 9:15am-10:15am)

Wellness Space
Demonstration (60 Minutes)
OTAN Staff
As educators, you give so much of yourselves to your students, your classrooms, and your communities each and every day. Your energy, patience, and compassion matter deeply—and so does your well-being. We invite you to pause, exhale, and give yourself a moment to reset and recharge. Visit our dedicated Wellness Room anytime during the conference.
