This is our fundamental PD series that gives teachers 45 hands-on classroom activities to promote focus, mindfulness, and emotional wellness. Includes 3 separate training days held for 45 min-1 hour; access to online materials; material kit (posters, exercise cards); and 2 follow-up classroom visits per teacher. [Note: This workshop can be delivered in up to three increments with the entire staff or in PLCs.]

Leaders are trained to have a deeper and more immersive experience of SEL from an embodied perspective. They learn to turn-key PD to colleagues, facilitate ongoing support for student leaders and keep the BPW program vibrant through school-wide implementation support. They are our point of contact as we continually develop a vibrant school-wide system. This training is 3 days and held locally in NYC.

Trainers are equipped to run a year-long student curriculum, give regular wellness classes to staff members and lead parent workshop series. They can provide class visits, staff refreshers and act as trainers for the Student Leadership Program. Includes regular reinforcement training. This training is held in upstate NY.

These 30-40 minute in-person or live online sessions supplement our PD with 100% self-care for the staff. We teach simple yoga, tai chi and breathing exercises that can be done daily to boost energy, immunity, and improve sleep. We focus on helping the staff release the stress of their work through tangible mind-body tools while creating a safe space for dialogue and healing. We typically start these after our Teacher Workshop PD sessions are completed as a way of continuously supporting the staff.

For your staff who have already taken the Teacher Workshop. We schedule and lead 2 PD sessions during the course of the school year.
