WHAT BETTER GIFT CAN YOU GIVE YOURSELF THIS FALL, THAN PEACE OF MIND???

I'll be offering my 3-credit grad course, "The Mindful Classroom" again. Registration ends on October 17th, and the course starts on October 21st. I'd love to have you along for the journey - the course isn't just about sharing mindfulness with your students - it's also designed to help take better care of yourself as an educator. You can register here: https://www.eduspire.org/course-registration/the-mindful-classroom/2972

Here's what a few of my recent students had to say about the course:

"I am incredibly grateful for this course, which has allowed me to have a better handle on situations and maintain my mental health, even in the face of chaos."

"My work life was/is negatively effecting my personal home life and health. I believe this course has forced me to use the tools that I have had within me the whole time but did not use on a consistent basis."

"I have some very challenging students this year and I find myself using mindful breathing when I am dealing with the behavior issues these students have. The mindful practices have helped me remain calm at all times whereas before I might have let my anger at the situation creep into my body language and tone of voice. I think my calmness has been noticed by these students and behavior problems are not escalating as much as they were in the past."

"I am eating my lunch slower - thinking about every bite, stopping to soak in the little things, telling myself to breathe in stressful situations, etc. I love where my mind is going, and I hope I can continue to grow!"

"I am amazed that by spending only 20 to 30 minutes a day; only a small investment of time devoted totally to myself and well-being, I have felt less anxious, more positive, refreshed, less critical of myself and others, and more at peace."

Hope to see you in class in soon!

As you work to build your microschool, many will try to sway you to adopt their ideas, to choose pathways that fit their needs. While we do want to make our microschools inclusive, and to support the needs of diverse learners in innovative ways, holding true to your vision of what the school might be is key. Making only the changes that match your vision will ensure that your microschool grows into more than you can possibly imagine!
