The Education Foundation has partnered with Banni Bunting to bring mindfulness sessions specifically to BLPS educators and staff during this transition back to school. “It is an invitation to take some time for yourselves – to rest and renew in order to be resilient this year.” Included are six prerecorded 20-minute video/audio sessions, as well as additional guided meditations and resources to support your own personal practice.

TRACEs and Culture of Care have teamed up!  We have heard collective voices advocating for an intentional space for mental health providers and educators to seek connection and support.  These days are challenging!  Now, more than ever, we need connection and encouragement from others.  These opportunities are designed to empty your overflowing cup and explore ways to step into your wellness- without planning a trip to a spa. Come when you can- not a requirement to attend every time.

This winter, join educators across the Bend-La Pine School District who will be reading Classroom 180  by Heather Forbes.  Heather Forbes is the owner of the Beyond Consequences Institute . She has worked in the field of trauma and healing since 1999. She is an internationally published author and speaker on the issues that arise when children and young adults are impacted by trauma.  Heather’s signature style is to bridge the gap between scientific research and real-life application.   The purpose of this book study is to provide educators with a comprehensive framework to create, implement, and sustain a trauma-informed classroom.  We will learn how trauma impacts the brain and how we can create an environment to support all our students during these uncertain times.  (Note: You are responsible for the purchase of the book.  Cost is 54.00)  Draft of Classroom 180 Syllabus  Watch for registration link coming soon in Performance Matters.  Class starts Monday January 4th, followed by a group WebEx on Tuesday January 12th from 4:00-5:00.   Contact one of the Behavior Coaches if you have any questions.

Supportive adults are vital to the social-emotional health of students now more than ever. We must continue to create and develop restorative strategies to assist students through the loss and transition within their academic and social spheres. COVID-19 has challenged students and families in balancing health, academics, and mental and emotional wellbeing. This session will discuss practical ways in which counselors, faculty and staff can best support students and families through COVID-19.

Here is a link to more information and registration to a webinar on June 4 around the topic of exploring strategies for supporting the social and emotional needs of students amidst COVID-19 school closure/re-opening.
