About my class

This fall I will participate in Breathe For Change teacher training, designed to educate teachers on the connection between mindfulness, student wellness and academic achievement. Mindfulness has been proven to increase student academic achievement and social and emotional well-being. My goal is to share my knowledge not just in my classroom but also to empower students to share their awareness with their families and friends in the community. Breathe for Change Teacher Training would prepare me to do SEL staff training as well as workshops for parents. It would benefit students and build upon other SEL work being done in the building. I am asking for your support to defer the cost of this program. This program will help me use yoga and mindfulness to help them overcome frustrations in the classroom and help them persevere in tough times.
