Group Pro-D Opportunities for SD 69 Teachers

This 8-week professional development group training program is designed for male teachers to develop greater freedom and satisfaction within their practice by strengthening their current abilities and learning new skills within a group setting.
As opposed to a one day pro-d experience, this eight week training program will provide you with the support and opportunity to practice and integrate the new skills you will be learning.
​
Overview of the topics to be covered during the 8 weeks includes:
  • Exploring and developing the use of the non-violent communication model (Marshall Rosenberg) which will:
    • Improve your ability to listen more fully with your students
    • Gain greater insight into the feelings and needs of your students
    • Increased confidence in your ability in responding to the needs of your students
  • Increased understanding on methods of communicating with students through the study of new brain research (inter-personal neurobiology)
  • Exploring your personal responses to conflict and your beliefs connected with your responses
  • Strategies to deal more effectively with conflict and stress in your work as an educator, balancing your abilities to be both assertiveness and compassion.
  • Examining and practicing the use of “Mindfulness” training and techniques to strengthen your individual management of stress
  • Encouraging healthy risk taking
  • Time for personal reflection and the integration of material covered

Training program approved by Mata Pro-D Committee and training groups will be limited to a maximum of 15 individuals, groups are gender specific, and consist of 8 weekly 2 hr. sessions.

Time: Tuesday evenings 7 – 9:00 pm.
