Please join us for this year's final session the Equity Centered Pedagogy Virtual Working Group.

2021 has been a year of tumult and transition for many of us: whether shifting between in-person and virtual instruction, processing the pandemic in our own lives and those of our students, or navigating conversations around racial injustice and anti-racism work, teachers in our field have encountered transitions and traumas that have left many of us feeling depleted. This session will focus on developing therapeutic tools for teachers during this time of transition.

We welcome special guest Nicole Bauman! Nicole is a Midwest-based queer parent steeped in the sacred work of facilitation, transformative justice, somatics, and Nonviolent Communication. They see building conflict resiliency as an essential part of living into the world to come, and are passionate about creating space where personal and collective liberation feel possible. Nicole is an ICF-certified Professional and Community Healing-Centered Coach and a student of Somatics with the Strozzi Institute and in the lineage of generative somatics.

Nicole will help us learn to build tools to help us cultivate own mental help and stay grounded in order to bring our best selves to our teaching practice.
