Participants will discover practical\, brain-based strategies to improve\ndecision-making\, establish healthy boundaries\, create sustainable work-life balance\,\nprioritize personal wellness\, and model healthy leadership. Through simple\, realistic\npractices\, including movement\, breathing\, nutrition\, purposeful routines\, and intentional\nself-care\, leaders will leave equipped to strengthen their own well-being while creating a\nripple effect that empowers teachers\, supports students\, and fosters a thriving school\ncommunity. \nPresenters:\nCasey Kruk is a 21-year veteran educator whose career spans roles as a teacher\, coach\,\nathletic director\, high school assistant principal\, and–most recently–6 years as a middle school\nprincipal. Anchored by the belief that school administrators must be led by a desire to be\ninstructional leaders\, he has guided his middle school to consistent growth over the last 6 \nyears–including its first-ever Exceeds Growth designation in 2022–while navigating the\nchallenges of COVID-19\, two major floods\, and all the other things the world has thrown at us.\nAs a cancer survivor\, he pairs this deep commitment to educational excellence with hard-earned\npersonal perspective\, advocating for educator stress management\, long-term well-being\, and\nmeaningful human connection. \nDr. Natalie Boone is an educator\, coach\, and wellness advocate with more than 20\nyears of experience helping students and educators recognize their strengths\, improve\ntheir well-being\, and create meaningful change. She currently serves as an Associate\nProfessor of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at Mars Hill University\, where she\nteaches health\, human performance\, kinesiology\, and physical education. In addition to\nteaching\, she serves as an academic advisor\, internship coordinator\, Physical\nEducation Teacher Education coordinator\, and growth coach for student-athletes. She\nholds two doctorates: one in Educational Leadership from Gardner-Webb University and\none in Kinesiology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, as well as two\nmaster’s degrees and numerous certifications.\nBoone’s work is grounded in the belief that effective teaching and leadership begin with\nunderstanding the whole person. Her professional interests include the neuroscience of\nlearning\, educator wellness\, stress and emotional regulation\, movement-based learning\,\nstudent engagement\, and the connection between physical\, mental\, emotional\, and\nrelational health. She is passionate about translating research into practical strategies\nthat educators and school leaders can realistically use in their daily lives and\nprofessional practice.\nBeyond the university classroom\, Boone leads professional development workshops for\neducators across the state\, coaches CrossFit\, and provides movement and wellness\nopportunities in her community. Her engaging and authentic presentation style\ncombines research\, practical application\, reflection\, movement\, and humor. Whether\nworking with students\, teachers\, athletes\, or school leaders\, Boone’s goal is to help\npeople feel seen\, supported\, and equipped to lead and live well. \nIf you have additional questions\, contact Candie Sellers at  csellers@wresa.org \nIf you are unsure whether your school system is a WRESA member\, click  WRESA MEMBER List.\nREGISTER
