Session Information
Well-Being in the Classroom through Mindfulness and Applied Positive Psychology

You will learn how the connection between mindfulness and applied positive psychology can help you to create a more meaningful and fulfilling teaching experience. You will learn strategies based on the latest science to build a sense of well-being in this coming post-Covid pandemic school year. Attendees will leave the session with tools and practices that they can begin using immediately in order to achieve a greater sense of wellbeing, a deeper sense of focus, and resilience skills to thrive during the upcoming school year. Reducing stress and learning how to flourish through actionable steps is achievable and not at all difficult.
