Programs to Strengthen Wellness and Performance in Education
The purpose of our programs is to support the educators, to aid their personal development. We want educators to have the ability to overcome their challenges, manage their emotions, stay focused, and be aware of their stress levels. All of these seem simple, they are not. This education enables educators to more effectively support the students and coworkers they care for so much.
Professional Development Programs
Looking to Provide Valuable Content to your development days?
We offer a wide array of topics for development days. We know it may be challenging to get buy in from your staff to attend and participate. Our Facilitation's are educational, entertaining and inclusive. Our goal is to provide usable information for each individual. To make their jobs easier, more enjoyable, and thus rewarding.
What a facilitation would consist of:
We offer half-day sessions. We meet with the group for a one hour, interactive session in the AM. Following the group session, we give an exercise for the group to complete in the next hour. We then meet again to review and discuss as a group. Program content would be made with the Key Decision Makers.
The goal is that the participants walk away with new skills that they can implement immediately.
Total Time - 4 hours
Parent Support Programs
Parental Education is critical as we all are working to give the children what they need
Often issues of the child can be resolved in working with the parents and teachers to learn about best practices and developing solutions both parties can use to assist the child in their learning.
