I’m hosting an 8 session training and support group for education professionals and practitioners working in all roles in educational settings. This training will expand participants’ ability to bring energy, creativity, and joy into their work. The group uses a mixture of (some) theory and (mostly) experience to study and understand how feelings and relationships impact learning in classrooms, staff meetings, advisory groups, restorative circles, crews, counseling groups, and other group settings at school.
Learning takes place through the presentation of workrelated case material and exploration of the dynamic group process that unfolds. Participants are invited to explore their hereandnow responses in the group and, in this way, the experience itself becomes our primary “text” that guides the emergent curriculum.
Concepts in social emotional learning and group theory are included in each session. Participants’ needs and interests will guide the selection of readings.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize ways to manage uncomfortable feelings while leading groups at school
Understand how a group frame is utilized to cultivate cooperation instead of compliance
Resolve emotional blocks to learning
Develop techniques for increasing talking in place of acting out behavior
Identify methods to integrate the group leaders’ emotions as critical data points school settings
Meeting Dates:The group meets on the following Mondays 2/8, 2/22, 3/7, 3/21, 4/4, 4/18, 5/2, 5/16 Time:6:308:00pm Location:26 West 9th Street, Suite 4E, New York, NY Fee:$400
