My school aims to teach the whole child by addressing both our scholars' academic and emotional needs. Many of my students bring a history of trauma to the classroom every day. This, coupled with the impact of the pandemic, has created a highly dynamic and unstable learning environment. As a science teacher and wellness advocate, I want to model how we can work with the body to overcome stress and facilitate healing. Through the Breathe for Change training, I will learn yoga and SEL techniques that blend science with mindfulness. My goal is to incorporate these practices into my daily lessons. I also want to facilitate workshops for the teachers, staff, and the local community. By fortifying a culture of mindfulness in my school and local district, I can help empower our students to heal and thrive.
