SUHSD Educators Summer Symposium 2024

Ergonomics includes ways to work efficiently and safely. We'll cover furnishings, products, setting up offices, helpful tech shortcuts, use of mobile devices & supports, pre-shift and recovery exercises. We will reserve time at the end of the session to walk through mobility and self-care techniques that are appropriate for the general population, and we may touch on aspects of our Health Care Plans that support our overall well-being. This will NOT offer any specific medical advice.
