Disrupt communication habits that leave educators and students feeling drained and disconnected. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to shift this dynamic through listening and speaking in ways that build more authentic connection, lead to greater understanding, and express your needs as a teacher.
In this workshop, participants will:
- Explore strategies to establish and maintain boundaries and classroom expectations to support healthy engagement and more fulfilling relationships
- Identify the stressors of teaching, understand how they impact relationships in the classroom, and learn strategies to disrupt this dynamic
- Learn tools to improve student relationships through listening, making requests, and getting to clarity

Why Workshops for Educators?
In our 101 and 201 courses, educators learn that mindfulness practice and facilitation skills are not something that we “achieve” and then check off as complete. We are in an ongoing process of learning and investigation into ourselves, our experience, and the experience of the students we work with. Workshops provide ongoing opportunities to build competencies in the Mindful Schools Domains of Mindful Teaching framework (see pg 4), supporting educators to create mindful learning environments that nurture curiosity and compassion.
