Upcoming Courage to Teach Work

Revisiting the Teacher's Heart: A retreat for new teachers and mentors who support them

This retreat is designed for new teachers in their first 5 years of teaching, as well as the formal and informal mentors who support them. This retreat will engage participants in conversations that touch on the ideals and commitments that originally drew them to become professional educators and create a space in which people can explore the delights and frustrations they have encountered as new teachers, and as support for new teachers. Through incorporation of silence, reflection, and creative expression, the retreat will provide an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
