Mt. St. Vincent University Saturday Speaker's Corner is pleased to present: WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS with DAVID KEITH Session I Saturday April 6, 2002, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. WELL-BEING FOR TEACHERS: NURTURING THE NURTURERS This 5-hour workshop presents methods for dealing with the unique stresses we face as teachers, looking at ways to replenish our resources so that we can live and teach more effectively. An ever-widening job description and classroom behaviour issues are among the challenges we encounter. This will be an opportunity to share our successes and frustrations in a supportive peer setting. We will learn relaxation exercises to calm body and mind, affirmations for self-empowerment and other tools for developing strength, resiliency and inner peace. It is increasingly important to nurture the teachers who educate tomorrow's leaders. Session I registration deadline March 28. Cost $50 Session II Saturday April 13, 2002, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. PEACE IN THE CLASSROOM This workshop is a hands-on introduction to the Peace Education Program for Schools, a unique process which helps children develop self-esteem and inner strength in working with emotions. The skills offered in the program teach children how to calm themselves, identify strengths as well as obstacles, and create affirmations for transforming behavior, leading to greater alertness, focus and self-confidence. Improvements in behavior, relationships, academic achievement and sleep patterns are the outcome of this process. We will also explore ways that teachers can incorporate these tools into the classroom. Session II registration deadline April 5. Cost $50 DAVID KEITH is an inspired and engaging speaker who has been presenting seminars on wellness and peace education internationally for more than 20 years. He founded the Peace Foundation Network (UK) and is a founding member of its Nova Scotian affiliate, the PEACE EDUCATION NETWORK Society.
