DESCRIPTION
The last two school years have been disrupted beyond what many of us could have imagined. Teachers have adjusted, pivoted, learned new tools, adjusted again, re-pivoted, and then learned still more new tools. This summer is time to pause and engage in a different set of three R’s: reflect, restore, and renew. This course will guide teachers in finding equanimity through exploring strengths in preparation for moving ahead to another school year with a strong, sustainable vision, not “back to normal.”
The goal of this course is to honor teachers’ needs for rejuvenation and provide an opportunity to reflect, capture the things that went right, and consider how to build on those in the future.
This course is appropriate for all divisions and is cross-disciplinary.

The goal of this course is to honor teachers’ needs for rejuvenation and provide an opportunity to reflect, capture the things that went right, and consider how to build on those in the future.
This course is appropriate for all divisions and is cross-disciplinary.
In this course, teachers will:
- Identify one’s own strengths and needs after two disrupted school years.
- Learn strategies for restoring equanimity in challenging situations
- Plan for a sustainable approach to preparing for the complexities of the upcoming school year.
COURSE FORMAT
Teachers will be guided through a two-week online course, which will take about four hours to complete per unit. The weeks/units of this course are asynchronous, but class-paced. There is no fixed time for participation, but assignments are due each week. Throughout the course, participants will connect and collaborate with each other through interactive media, including short videos and discussion boards. Participants will have access to the course and materials for one additional week beyond the posted end date.
TUITION
It is not possible to individually enroll for this course. Instead, a school must enroll an entire divisional faculty for the course. The price is varied depending on the size of the participating division. Please contact Sarah Hanawald, Assistant Head of School for Professional Development, for more information and pricing.
