soulful professional development for schools and educators
Writing for Social/Emotional Literacy
and Self-Development:
An experiential workshop for educators
Writing is a contemplative, creative, life-saving art enhancing both literacy and human development. As a positive behavioral intervention strategy, writing builds emotional intelligence, empathy, and resilience while mitigating the effects of stress, depression, and anxiety. It cultivates self-knowledge, esteem, and responsibility by allowing a space to reflect and to understand ourselves in the context of the world around us.
Educators will be introduced to writing for social/emotional literacy (SEL) and self-development to use as a powerful literacy practice in their classrooms, as well as for personal and professional self-reflection.
Filling the Well:
A rejuvenating and inspiring workshop for educators
We teachers are drawn to our profession by an inner calling. We teach for the love of it and aspire to have a positive, rippling impact on our society and world. However, because we give great love and energy to our students, we are at risk of allowing our own wells to run dry.
​
Writing is a powerful way to re-invigorate our lives and teaching.
Educators will leave this workshop with a powerful tool for personal and professional inspiration, creative visualization, and as one way to fill their wells and practice reflective living and teaching.
