Educator Trainings for Heart-Centered Teaching and Learning

“Past the content and the methods of the teacher….lives the heart of the teacher.”

In these inspiring and practical workshops, educators learn how to honor and teach the whole child — integrating cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual, and real world / achievement skills. Participants acquire the tools, techniques, and resources to teach an additional 3 R’s — Respect, Resiliency, and Responsibility — and build “safe” and caring learning environments which foster tolerance, creativity, and an increase in student learning and achievement.

Key topics:

• Principles and practices of heart-centered education
• Personal and professional development for the educator: “we teach who we are”
• Honoring and teaching the whole child — integrating cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual, and real world / achievement skills
• Creating classrooms, schools, and learning communities based on a heart-centered approach
• Tolerance and resiliency skill-building — how to create “safe” schools from the inside out
• Character development, emotional literacy, and asset-building
• Curriculum and concrete strategies to implement in your school or organization

Benefits:

• Develop the ability to build “safe” and caring learning environments which honor each student’s uniqueness and foster creativity, cooperation, and achievement
• Cultivate a renewed and deeper sense of purpose and direction
• Enhance ability to educate beyond techniques and instructional strategies
• Improve skills in empowering students to connect to their own
  — and others’ — intuitive wisdom, goodness, and compassion
• Increase ability to positively impact your school or learning community
• Empower yourself as an authentic, confident, heart-centered educator / parent

Methods:

• Lecturette, discussion, reflection, application, and group simulations

At the training, each participant receives a copy of EduCare’s
“Making the Best of Me” handbook.
