Upcoming Webinars
Having FUN
November 4, 2025, 4:00 - 4:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Nick Young
Focus topic: Fun
As a busy teacher or education manager, it may be tempting to think of fun as a “nice to have” element of teaching, but it is actually essential. For humans, joy is just as important as achievement, and adults need it just as much as children! In this session, we will share ways to have fun in your learning environment that will increase everyone’s joy, and result in a more positive experience for everyone.
Teaching MINDFULNESS
January 6, 2026, 4:00 - 4:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Hayes Greenfield
Focus topic: Mindfulness
Managing a learning environment can be extremely stressful, especially when facing behaviors that we do not understand. We can control how we respond to those times of stress, in part, by paying attention to the way that we breathe. In this session, we will learn a simple tool that we can use to focus on and control the breath when stress is high, so we can return to calm and respond with wisdom, care, and focus.
Offering CHOICES
March 3, 2026, 4:00 - 4:30 p.m. ET
Presented by: Ron Shuali, M.Ed.
Focus topic: Choices
When children want to learn, we can tell, because they all use the same simple tool: they start asking questions! But how often do we ask questions of them? In this session, we will explore the power of questions as a teaching tool, and share practical ways that teachers can develop a more positive and engaged learning environment by teaching less, and asking more.
