Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Social emotional development is so important for me as an educator and also for my students. I work hard each day to create a safe and happy learning environment for my students so they can flourish. My students will benefit because I can embed SEL strategies as part of my class instruction to gently guide them through difficult mathematical concepts. I try very hard to provide a positive place where they can grow socially and emotionally as well as academically. I would love the opportunity to learn more skills and strategies through Breathe for Change.

Breathe for Change is the world’s only on-line 200-hour Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training designed for educators by educators for the well-being of educators, students, and entire communities.

The on-line training will equip me with social-emotional learning strategies, mindfulness tools, and yoga practices that will benefit everyone. At the end I will be a certified yoga instructor. I can then lead classes for my student s and school community. I want to attend the Breathe for Change training because I want to learn more tools to manage my own well-being because I know that when I am at my best I can show up as my best for my students and it benefits them. I want my students to feel loved and supported by me! I also want to teach my students strategies and tools they can use to support their own well-being and know how to navigate any life experience that comes their way.
