My Project
Research conducted by breathe for change shows that mindfulness and yoga practices for teachers leads to increased performance, less stress and burnout. When I am at my best I am able to teach at my best. Through the training offered by breathe for change I can increase student learning through a holistic approach incorporating social emotional learning into every lesson. These strategies will help make me a well-rounded special education professional. Additionally I am a dedicated volunteer board member of our parent teacher organization and I would like to offer workshops for my colleagues, other students in the district, families and community members. I am eager to start a before school club where I practice yoga with students to encourage positive behaviors, mindfulness and facilitate social emotional learning.
