Building Resilience in NPS: Onward Book Group Fall/Winter 2021
This book group will take place 1 to 2 weeks per month, September through February. It is funded by an NEF grant, so it will be FREE to attend!
This project includes: (1) a book group that meets for 1.5 hours 1-2 times per month for 6 months starting fall 2021 with group discussions on building resilience as educators (HOW we can better show-up for & bring this to our students) & mindfulness activities (such as meditation, breath work, and/or yoga poses) using the book Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators. This group will be open to any educator in NPS, and we will meet in one (or more than one) building based on the educators who enroll OR via Zoom if necessary AND (2) Curriculum development time with the members of the book group to create teacher leaders who use this book in their own communities during 2022/2023 with their building colleagues & brainstorm & test ways to bring it to our students.
