Strategy and Story: Social and Emotional (SEL) Strategies for Teachers Supporting Action Steps for Personal and Professional Success
Workshop Description
Your life, personally and professionally, is the result of who you are as an individual. Therefore, are you who you need to be in order to create the life you wish you live? Who we are as individuals is a culmination of the stories or beliefs we live by and the actions we choose to take.
This workshop offers teachers an opportunity to write positive and empowering stories regarding their personal and professional lives. Since the stories we write about ourselves rely on reinforcement through strategic action, this workshop includes opportunities to work with wellness applications and an online habit tracker in order to plan consciously-chosen action steps, allowing for greater self-management and self-support, within and outside of the classroom.
All practical work is supported by coaching theory and insights. Whilst this workshop focuses on the wellbeing of teachers, it will also include ideas regarding how teachers may choose to incorporate these new concepts within their classrooms.
