Overview
With all of the challenges facing educators right now, we need spaces for rest, reflection, togetherness, and hope. In this Community of Practice (CoP), we will envision, experience, and co-create a thriving learning community—with a focus on care, compassion, and connection.
Our goals for the community of practice include the following:
- To deepen our understanding of social and emotional well-being
- To experience greater well-being as adult learners in community
- To share ideas and best practices for supporting our students, colleagues, and ourselves
Each session will feature:
- An inclusive, welcoming ritual
- A featured practice or reflection
- An opportunity for small group networking/support
- A time to share out with the larger group
- An optimistic closure
