Event description: Please join Dr. Lisa J. Lucas, author of Practicing Presence: Simple Self-Care Strategies for Teachers, who will share evidence-based research strategies to examine how a well-trained mind can support a culture of engaged students and educators. If we want a culture of kindness, it is essential to cultivate our own healthy habits and routines so that we can connect more authentically with our students, collaborate more mindfully with our colleagues, and manage our stress more effectively.
