This six-day, five-night retreat gives education professionals from all over the world the opportunity to hear some of the world’s leading experts on how to cultivate social and emotional well-being—for both teachers and their students. In addition to lectures, participants will engage in deep self-reflection, thought-provoking discussions, and strategy sessions (see the agenda for more information). Participants will leave empowered with cutting-edge, science-based social-emotional strategies, tools, and techniques to implement this important aspect of student and teacher development in their school environments. They will also leave with a deeper understanding of who we are as human beings. The application deadline is January 1, 2015. Participants receive a certificate of completion and a letter confirming clock hours of instruction. Who should apply: Pre-K through university-level educators, counselors, psychologists, and school and district-level administrators who are interested in cultivating the social-emotional well-being of students and the adults who work with them. Register for the summer institute for educators.
