During our monthly Professional Development conversations, we take time to pause, focus on you the teacher, and explore how you can support your classroom. We provide simple and practical developmental tools to help you and your students be calmer and more focused.
Join the FocusedKids team once a month via Zoom as we discuss and practice simple strategies to bring more calm and focus into your classroom. Each month, we will expand our knowledge on the developing brain, learn tools for self-regulation in the classroom, and take time to explore what you need to show up as your best self. As a participant of this PD you will have access to the following resources:
– monthly live short meditations,
– free lessons, videos, and activities for your classroom,
– conversations with top professionals in the field of social emotional health and well-being,
– collaboration with a progressive group of teachers and educators in person and virtual classroom support with FocusedKids.
You will receive salary advancement or continuing education credit each time you participate in a live Zoom chat.
