Mentor U – An Intensive Mindfulness online program for Educators
Fundamental course for Educators:
Teachers are the most important leaders that we have. Trust, sense of belong, emotional safety, connection, commitment etc..are taught in the smallest of ‘classroom’ moments. It is served not through massive, heroic sort of events, but through paying attention, focused listening and gestures of genuine care.
On the other hand, educating and mentoring students is challenging. Its tough, high – stakes work, that often results in stress, overwhelm and in most cases burnouts. Adding to this stress is often an educators own lack of social-emotional strategies for dealing with the emotional intensity of the job that diminishes his/her effectiveness as a teacher.
