Description

  • 5 practical tools to transform your kids and your classroom into a positive, peaceful & effective learning environment
  • The neuroscience behind stress and how it impacts teaching and learning
  • Improve your connection with students and increase your ability to manage overwhelm in the classroom
  • A three-phase approach to becoming a more effective educator

As an educator do you often feel that you are just trying to “get through the day”? That you are completely stressed out because you are spread too thin? Do you feel that your students are in a constant state of anxiety and dysregulation? This is how I felt too - until I implemented a simple mindfulness program in my classroom. Let me share with you my tools and techniques.

Attend this seminar and learn how to use mindfulness to reconnect your mind and body while at the same time improving attention and self-regulation in your students. Through the three-step framework of Pause – Shift – Be, you will learn how mindfulness is an effective intervention for both teachers and students. You will walk away with dozens of practical tools that you can integrate immediately in your classroom to decrease stress and promote self-regulation, learning readiness and a positive peaceful classroom environment.

Throughout this interactive and experiential workshop, we will use sharing, pairs, small groups, games, mindfulness practices, interactive handouts, stories, and humor along with some didactic teaching to help deepen your understanding of mindfulness and how it can be integrated into your classroom. You will see how easy it is to create a more harmonious, learning friendly classroom!
