Experience renewal, reflection and practical strategies for your work with children and youth at
this institute for teachers, counselors and administrators where we focus on building heart, spirit and community in the classroom.

Based on the model developed by PassageWorks founder, Rachael
Kessler, and featured in The Soul of Education (ASCD 2000), this course will explore:
• The theory of social and emotional learning (SEL);
• The integration of play, ritual, stillness, expressive arts and community building;
• How to develop your own reflectiveness and “teaching presence”;
• How to create a caring classroom environment in which students will increase focus and motivation to learn and develop empathy and compassion;
• Stages of group development and methods appropriate to each grade level; and
• Ways to integrate this work into your teaching.
Methods learned in this course can be integrated into your classroom and do not represent "something else" to teach, but a heartfelt way to breathe new life into what and how you teach.
