About this Event
As we limp … *ahem* … soar gracefully toward a holiday break, educators and learners can benefit from some research-supported ideas for decreasing stress and anxiety in the classroom. In addition to diminishing stress, these ideas are associated with increasing engagement, learning, a sense of belonging, and a host of other positive educational outcomes. Participants will learn activities and ideas before collaborating with other educators to develop direct applications in their own classroom. During and following the workshop, participants will gather ideas about using SCRAP resources to support their new activities. Join Dr. Stephanie Rafanelli for a workshop offering concrete curricular and pedagogical ideas for your middle or high school classroom.
Our Free Teacher Workshops qualify as Prop G Hours!
