Transformative Teaching Renewal: A Circle of Educators

As important as methods may be, the most practical thing we can achieve in any kind of work is insight into what is happening inside us as we do it. The more familiar we are with our inner terrain, the more sure-footed our teaching—and living—becomes. ~Parker J. Palmer (from The Courage to Teach)

Before you head off for summer vacation, give yourself the gifts of reflection, renewal, and revitalization. Leave with awareness and remembrance of the spark that led you into education, a recognition of the gifts you have to offer, and a commitment to honoring yourself and your relationships in this complex, wonderful, and rewarding vocation.

Join this daylong active workshop as an introduction to a whole year’s worth of offerings TO REVITALIZE YOUR PRACTICE AND REAWAKEN YOUR TEACHING HEART.  A group of seasoned educators from three of our partner organizations have collaborated to bring about this event, calling attention to the three fundamental realities of education:

The self you bring to your students,
The relationships you cultivate in your school; and
The content you offer in the classroom.
