14. Mindfulness in Education: Overview and Practical Approaches ~ Asynchronous Module

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 1/24/2022

Research and interest in the benefits of mindfulness in the educational setting continue to grow. According to Mindful Schools, "Healthy stress is a natural part of life, including childhood. Children and adults alike need to be challenged in order to grow and develop. However, in the modern education system, healthy stress is frequently displaced by toxic stress. Toxic stress occurs when life's demands consistently outpace our ability to cope with those demands." To counter the impact of toxic stress, we must develop and practice skills that begin to shift our habitual response to stress for both ourselves and our students outside of stressful circumstances. This module introduces educators to the history and research behind Mindfulness applications for personal and professional renewal as well as practical applications for the classroom. ____________ If there is a cost associated with this training, please read payment options: *If your district is paying and you are an Oswego County district, please select Direct Bill *If your district is paying and you are outside of Oswego County, a cross contract will need to be initiated for permission to bill.

18. Asynchronous: Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 2/4/2022

New

From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime, and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practiced, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma. This raises a crucial question for mindfulness teachers, trauma professionals, and survivors everywhere: How can we minimize the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits? This asynchronous or self-paced opportunity brings you through this powerful question. The module begins with a webinar to build common understanding on trauma, mindfulness, and meditation and how they intersect in classroom practice. Participants will leave with strategies to create a safe, supportive mindfulness practice in the classroom. Upon completion you will be asked to complete a survey/reflection where you will offer insights and key takeaways as well as certify your completion of all tasks. Once complete, you will receive 3 hours of professional development, documented in MyLearningPlan. All participants registered by 2/4/2022 will be emailed the mini-module in the form of a Smore "newsletter" containing the webinar and all items to complete. Participants will have until 3/4/22 to complete the required materials.

20. Intentional Classroom Design for SEL

Program: School Improvement

Audience: Classroom Teachers

Dates: 2/8/2022

As we consider our educational spaces, let's consider how the design of our spaces are conducive for social and emotional learning. Together we will explore the latest research on grouping, mindfulness corners/spaces, and even plants. Yes, plants. Research from Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands found that there are positive long-term effects of office plants. More specifically the study "found greenery significantly increases workplace satisfaction in employees (and students), heightens self-reported concentration levels, and improves perceived air quality.” Indoor plants can increase happiness, productivity, and even relieve stress which can have positive health benefits. Let's get excited about creating a welcoming educational environment. Are you out of New York State and interested in attending?

22. Cultivating Self Compassion for Educators - Asynchronous Learning Module

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 2/28/2022

Hey Educators, how are you doing? It has been a heck of a year! What have you done for yourself lately? Let's talk about self compassion, shall we? According to Kristen Neff, self-compassion entails being warm and understanding toward ourselves when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate, rather than ignoring our pain or flagellating ourselves with self-criticism. We treat ourselves the way we would treat a friend who was struggling or suffering. Practicing self-compassion involves taking action and making positive changes in our lives and when we do we can reconnect with their deep motivation and excitement for helping others. In this asynchronous learning module, you will be given the tools and resources to begin exploring self compassion in your life, understand and transform habitual responses and overcome self-criticism and develop an open heart and resilience through self-appreciation The science shows that self-compassion has a significant positive impact on educator well-being, resilience, and stress management. ____________ If there is a cost associated with this training, please read payment options: *If your district is paying and you are an Oswego County district, please select Direct Bill *If your district is paying and you are outside of Oswego County, a cross contract will need to be initiated for permission to bill.

23. Working Through the Rumble Process for Teams: An Overview - Asynchronous Learning Module

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 2/28/2022

Collaboration is messy work, sometimes. We assume we can bring people together and magical things will happen! We all know this is not always the case. In fact, it is often not the case at all. How do we begin to reflect on and grow our own emotional intelligence and that of team members so that we can move forward intentionally with our work in the interest of those we serve? Let's explore the Rumble Process. Brene Brown says, "A rumble is a discussion, conversation, or meeting defined by a commitment to lean into vulnerability, to stay curious and generous, to stick with the messy middle of problem identification and solving, to take a break and circle back when necessary, to be fearless in owning our parts, and, as psychologist Harriet Lerner teaches, to listen with the same passion with which we want to be heard." This module will offer an overview of the process and opportunities for reflection. For further support, reach out to Liane Benedict, who can facilitate your team through this process more deeply. ____________________________________________________________________ If there is a cost associated with this training, please read payment options: *If your district is paying and you are an Oswego County district, please select Direct Bill *If your district is paying and you are outside of Oswego County, a cross contract will need to be initiated for permission to bill.

25. Using SEL as a Lever for Equity ~ Asynchronous Module

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 3/31/2022

As CASEL describes, "SEL can be a powerful lever for creating caring, just, inclusive, and healthy communities that support all individuals in reaching their fullest potential.” This module will explore how SEL implementation fosters an equitable learning environment for all students. How do we show up in ways that help all students and adults feel respected, valued and affirmed? What are some of the ways we can be culturally responsive and allow for all voices to express learning in ways that honor who are? SEL for equity is not just for our at-risk students but is a way to cultivate the environment so that all students can thrive. This module includes a webinar that will offer an overview of SEL as a lever for equity as well as strategies for implementation. Additional resources such as videos and readings will offer ways to deepen understanding, reflect on instructional practice and personal competence with SEL, and commit to actions moving forward that will promote growth for all. ____________ If there is a cost associated with this training, please read payment options: *If your district is paying and you are an Oswego County district, please select Direct Bill *If your district is paying and you are outside of Oswego County, a cross contract will need to be initiated for permission to bill.

26. Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators - Year Long Inward Journey/Book Study

Program: School Improvement

Dates: 6/28/2022 to 8/2/2022

Research is telling us that a "substantial amount of our ability to be resilient is fostered in our daily habits." Cultivating a resilient way of being can enable us to thrive, not just survive. We also know from a study out of the MU College of Education, that teachers with low levels of stress and high coping ability were practically non-existent! As we dive deeper into the work of Social Emotional Learning for our students, it is vital that we look at teachers and all adults working in schools through this lens. Onward takes us on an inward journey toward building resilience so that we may be our most authentic and best self, so that we may "listen to students and their families" by allowing us to "keep our hearts open". Resilience allows us to have difficult conversations, supports collaboration through change, and builds our confidence in managing our own and others' intense emotions. Join us on this year long PD journey, as we explore the research on human resilience, psychology, systems thinking and change management. Teams are encouraged to participate together. The impact on the culture of your organization will be powerful! We will have a kick off, in-person meeting on June 28th. We will meet in person one day in early August. Remaining monthly meetings would be hybrid with some being in person and some being virtual. We will select and commit to these dates at our kick off meeting. We will be utilizing the Onward book and workbook - participants are responsible for purchasing their own materials or seek district reimbursement, if allowable. Collaboration and reflection through the work will benefit each of us individually as well as the entire group. Please do not commit if you are not willing to engage and offer support in this way. Ideally, you can engage in this work with others from your building or district so that your inner work will collectively benefit your organization in deeper and wider ways.
