Deep Dive

Are you an educator feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of teaching and leading in today’s complex social and political climate? Join us for a restorative deep dive where we slow down to reflect, engage in the act of play, and explore fostering wellness as resistance. Together, we’ll dig into building community and navigating our learning environments through shared purpose, shared work, and shared joy. Using context mapping and self-analysis of power and privilege, we’ll examine the systems we teach within and identify actionable strategies in our spheres of control and influence to create positive change in our learning communities. Leave with a practical plan to nurture wellness, drive transformation, and reignite your sense of connection, purpose, and joy!

About
I am excited to return to Deeper Learning this year (my 8th year!) with our workshop, Teaching & Leading Through Difficult Times: Wellness as Resistance. Coming from Detroit, these issues dominate many conversations among our educator colleagues.
