The Great Connection
Is the mind superior to the body? How do you measure at the end of the day that your students understand and that you have done a good job? To what extent do we go or should we go to identify with our students? Addressing these questions and others can serve as powerful tools to build upon as we take a step toward looking at ourselves, our profession and our impact on the students we teach. This professional development will also present inspiring new motivating hands-on activities with an innovative design engineer. To take this presentation to a new level, you will be rejuvenated not only mentally, but physically and emotionally with a special spa treatment.
