We’re on a mission to build a community of educators who strive for excellence, while also taking care of themselves. We want to connect with teachers who are committed to ongoing professional learning and growth, along with personal development and wellness.
If you’re one of those teachers, please consider this your invitation to join our online professional learning community, Cultivating Connection!‘
We will be offering a 12 week fall session that includes both professional learning and wellness for teachers. The theme of our program is connection and we’ve built 6 modules that provide ideas and strategies for building strong connections.
Building Strong Connections in Education
In Module 1, we explore Connection to Self. This module is all about knowing yourself and your work style to set yourself up for success in your work life, while also prioritizing your wellness.
Our theme for Module 2 is Connection with Students: we share our ideas for how you can build strong relationships with students.
In Module 3, we explore ideas and strategies for developing positive connections with families & guardians.
Module 4 is all about Connecting with Fellow Educators. We know that being connected with a network of other teachers is a huge asset in this profession and we’ll give you some ideas for how you can do this!
Module 5, The Connected Classroom is where we share our ideas and activities for connecting with other classrooms to enhance learning.
Finally, Module 6 explores Connection with Community. We’ll share ideas for connecting beyond the classroom with community members and guest experts!
Wellness for Teachers
When you are passionate about what you do, it’s easy to give too much, work too long and rest too little. In the field of education, it feels like there is always more you can do and you may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out.
As part of the Cultivating Connection experience, we want to share with you the wellness practices that have helped us cope with stress and overwhelm. As part of your membership to Cultivating Connection, you’ll receive access to guided wellness practices to restore and inspire you. These practices designed for educators include all-levels yoga videos you can follow along with at home and guided meditation tracks.
A Supportive Community of Educators
We love bringing teachers together to share ideas, learn and connect. Community is an important pillar of Cultivating Connection. We’re here to facilitate and fun, supportive community where we can grow and support one another. We’ll be meeting live on Zoom 3 times over the 12 weeks, plus have weekly check-in questions and prompts in our private Facebook group.
