***CANCELED*** The Wise Teacher: Maximizing your impact as a teacher of adults (on ANY subject!)

If you're like most teachers, you are motivated by a passion to share information you find interesting, important and even life-changing. But how do you get the full power of your message across to your adult audience? Holly Eckert and Sarah Peyton, with their combined teaching experience of 30 years, will share their top strategies drawn from the fields of Nonviolent Communication, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Mindfulness and Curriculum Design so you can inspire learning authentically, joyfully and effectively.

Learn to:
*Create an environment of trust
*Open your student's minds for your information
*Make your information relevant to every participant
*Increase your ability to respond effectively to anything that happens in the room
*Refocus a group whose focus has dispersed
*Anchor your information inside your students with specific brain-based curriculum design strategies
*Increase enjoyment of the learning process--for students and teachers!

Open to 30 participants.
