Registration for this training is now closed.
Bring curiosity, connection, and creativity to support learning. Explore how past and present experience (from the most traumatic to the most life-enhancing) shapes our engagement with learning and teaching in the present. Notice the similarities and differences between you and the students you support and amongst them. Bring your curiosity to careful observation; learn new approaches to support you and your students to be grounded and present to teach and learn; and experiment with strategies in your own teaching. Work with the wisdom of body, emotion, spirit, as well as mind in this series of interactive webinars, with one-on-one support, and exploratory activities.
This is a three webinar series, with monthly webinars, observation and action assignments between each session, and one-on-one support available throughout the process. To strengthen your learning in this webinar and action series you will be encouraged to find a buddy in the course to share your experience and reflections throughout the process.
