Undergraduate education majors are invited to participate in a study group this fall to explore teacher self-care, civic engagement, and creating a professional teaching identity. Any education major is eligible to be part of the group until the group fills to capacity.
The following books will be provided for each person plus additional resources, including guest-speakers and other experiences.
· Fostering Resilient Learners: Strategies for Creating a Trauma-Sensitive Classroom by Kristin Souers & Peter Hall
· Practicing Presence: Simple Self-Care Strategies for Teachers 1st Edition by Lisa J. Lucas
