Info: Reflective Practice is the ongoing reflection on teaching practices that allows us to become more skilled and capable teachers. It is a self-reflexive inquiry. Reflective practice can be aimed at individual practice, but also at systems of education. Participants will take a deeper dive into reflective practice and learn how to use it as an ongoing tool in their tutoring and mentoring work.

Info: Developmental relationships are essential to help young people discover how to become their best selves. Through the benefits of developmental relationships, young people move beyond surviving to thriving. Strong developmental relationships help young people of every age, race, and socioeconomic background discover who they are, cultivate the ability to shape their own lives and destinies, and learn how to positively contribute to the world. In this workshop, participants will explore developmental relationships and discuss how we can intentionally create them in our schools, programs, families, and communities.
