    Boredom

    Welcome to season 4 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!

    Currently on the AWARE podcast we are talking about The Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown. In this episode we discuss ideas around boredom and education. Is it ok for students to experience boredom? Are student expectations such that they never want to be bored at all? Does it impact student productivity or work ethic?
    We also discuss a situation with a higher education professor and we reference this article:

  • Using Typical Counseling Skills
    Using Typical Counseling Skills

    Therapists use basic skills that we generalize in society in many ways. We might call them active listening skills, conflict resolution, communication skills, empathy skills, etc. It’s true that all of these skills are things counselors do – but getting good at them does not make you a counselor! It makes you a better human. Today we talk about how the trainings we do are designed help to improve these skills in our educators. We also discuss the value of Mental Health First Aid trainings and how they teach, and allow you to practice, good basic skills that prepare you to intervene in a mental health challenge or crisis.

  • AWARE Trainings and the Enneagram
    AWARE Trainings and the Enneagram

    This month Stacy and Nicole are talking about the professional development courses they have planned for this summer. Today we talk about Teacher Wellbeing and the Enneagram. We have talked about teacher wellbeing and self-care quite a bit over the course of this AWARE grant. Our thoughts about it have shifted and refined as we have tried different things and heard from educators. Even if “self-care” seems like a dirty word to you at this point, we still need it… so what do we do about that? We also talked about how the Enneagram continues to be a beneficial tool as we look at self-care and SEL skills! Stacy and Nicole are doing a 3 hour virtual course on Teacher Wellbeing on June 1st. Nicole will be doing breakout sessions on Teacher Wellbeing and the Enneagram at the ASCD conference on June 6th in Bentonville. We hope you’ll join us!
