There are thousands of books on education available; yet, why is it so difficult to teach and support students effectively and with confidence? The answer is clearer when we consider that there are an infinite number of moving parts, including our own mood, expectations, teaching and parenting style, history, inconsistent behavior, and patience. This is compounded when there is another educator involved, when there are many students in a classroom, and when the parents or caregivers have different approaches. Additionally, each student is unique, and there is no “book” written specifically for each student. Educators strive to exemplify and model for their students appropriate self-control, problem-solving, wise decision-making, and kindness; yet, this can be challenging at times, especially when there are disruptive behaviors, students functioning at various levels, and during the continued uncertainties in this world. Dr. Selbst will share a compassionate approach to educating students, including ways to develop greater mindfulness and flexibility to continually become the educator you want to be. Concrete strategies will be included.
