Social Emotional
Teacher Trainings

Through the Emotional Recovery process, we train educators on the praxis of social-emotional learning. This process supports us in connecting deeply to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that develop self-awareness skills, healthy identities, and discern emotions, in order to achieve classroom, and personal life goals.

In these training sessions, we use past societal experiences, and current contemporary issues, as prompts for actively rewiring our responses in order to embody new mental models to take into the classroom. Educators learn how certain emotions are exhibited, like anger, when there is a perception of danger and it triggers a person’s flight or fight response. We integrate critical discussions about the systems of historical oppression in the institutions of education here in the U.S., their implications, how to interrogate them, and how to heal from them.

Our group training sessions focus on improving overall wellbeing by helping school teams to develop and sustain new perspectives, attitudes, skills and behaviors that go beyond creating rules without relationships. The intention for these sessions is to cultivate a safe space where we all can continue to nurture a positive sense of self, while building the capacity to connect to emotions in sustainable ways that overflows into the schools and classrooms.
