Let’s start the year with truly building a safe and engaging classroom. Why not bring JOY and CONNECTION into your classroom COMMUNITY? Join teaching artist Michelle Holdt for this experiential workshop to learn human-centered strategies: creative arts practices, mindfulness, and restorative circles. These strategies can occur simultaneously, and in alignment with academic instruction. Participants will learn how to connect their student’s lives and experiences to school curriculum and pedagogy through human-centered strategies and powerful tools to authentically foster vibrant and healthy relationships.
