In this course, educators will blend reflection, exploration and research to develop understanding of how to practice and teach wellness. The course begins with a two-day retreat-style meeting in which participants will explore dimensions of wellness through experiential activities, and discuss theory and philosophy of the role of wellness in education. Following this face-to-face meeting, participants will engage through Canvas over the course of a month to dive deeper into theory and practice of wellness, with a focus on how wellness can support academic achievement and growth. At a final face-to-face meeting, participants share their learning and create personalized action plans for the upcoming school year.
