Ms. Pellegrino from Springfield MA is requesting professional development through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Professional development

Transformative Teaching and Leadership Training

I need to take my teaching to the next level by bringing wellness and social-emotional learning practices to my school.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $3,618 goal

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My vision is to educate students and parents on the importance of mindfulness and yoga. I want to combine my SEL skills teaching children about the importance of nutrition, mindful eating and organic gardening. I want to enhance my pedagogy, deepen my expertise in mindfulness and yoga, and improve my ability to foster these very important skills that students and parents need for healthy living, healing and social change in my school and community. This training will allow me to strengthen my understanding of yoga with a deeper dive into chair yoga, sequencing, restorative yoga, and yoga philosophy. Additionally, I will develop my capacity as a social-emotional learning and mindfulness expert. This life-changing experience will give me incredible tools and support to catalyze healing and social change
