Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education (CARE) for Teachers Retreat CTLE Registration
CARE is a unique evidence-based program designed to help educators reduce stress and enliven their work by promoting awareness, presence, compassion, reflection, and inspiration - the inner resources needed to help students flourish, socially, emotionally, and academically.
Previous participants include PK-20 teachers, leaders, support staff, teacher educators and coaches, out-of-school time providers, and more. If you support learning for the next generation, this retreat is for you.
CARE is a program of CREATE (Creating Resilience for Educators, Administrators and Teachers). CARE was developed at the Garrison Institute (see here for more information).
This innovative in-person training for educators from July 17 to July 20 will introduce an evidence-based set of practical skills, to support wellbeing. These skills will help reduce stress, improve mental concentration and emotional awareness, and facilitate responsiveness.
You will be able to apply these in your work so you can consistently be the caring, compassionate educator you are. These skills include body awareness, movement, deep listening, emotion-awareness training, and much more.
This is a co-sponsored program. Enrolling in this course will provide you with documentation of up to 25.75 Continuing Teacher and Leader (CTLE) hours. Please note you must also register for the site fees via the Garrison institute as follows:
