Amy Miller—amillerteach10@gmail.com

3 Credits—Inservice — June 24 — August 15

Teachers will be asked to read picture books that promote mindfulness, empathy, and social/emotional learning (can be used in all grade levels), view TED talks, and explore videos & articles. Learn to navigate the website GoNoodle.com, to help students cope with things that may arise in their daily lives. Teachers will participate in breathing and meditation exercises using the Insight Timer (this is a free app), which is for both the teacher and the student. Each assignment will explore a new aspect of mindfulness, social/emotional learning, and empathy and can be used in many subject areas. All material accessed from links provided.
