TBAISD Regional Staff Development Day

In this interactive learning session with Mindful Practices founder, Carla Tantillo Philibert, participants will begin by reflecting and considering the notion of "I Teach Because..." which is a resource for all educators to access, contribute to and hopefully feel inspired by others who walk the same path as educators from around the world. Following, participants will learn various SEL, Movement & Mindfulness techniques geared toward creating a more "ready to learn" mindset for their students and that can be implemented throughout the day to help build and strengthen student self-awareness, self-regulation and pro-social skills. Participants will have an opportunity, throughout the session, to discuss with a partner and reflect individually on how their intend to incorporate SEL & Mindfulness into their classroom routine and/or interaction with students to ultimately strengthen the relationship between teacher and student. Session content will be based upon Philibert's publication, Everyday SEL.
