Courage to Teach, Professional Development
As quoted, "In a time when stress and pressure on teachers and administrators continues to rise because of internal and external demands, 'Courage to Teach' provides educators with an opportunity for rest, renewal, and re-engagement with their identity and integrity as teachers."
This program was originally conceived by esteemed educator Parker J. Palmer, offers educators an opportunity to reflect on the inner dimensions of teaching and leading. Each retreat has 20-25 participants who gather together to engage in honest self-reflection and explore questions about purpose, values, and commitment to the challenging work of teaching. Therefore, the educators have the opportunity to increase their capacity to listen to self and others more deeply.
Because the inner work is thought to take time, participants are asked to commit to faithful attendance at all five retreats.
The cost of the attendance for k-12 educators has been substantially reduced by a grant from the Kalliopeia Foundation.
