Skills in Focus:

  • Tools to accelerate belonging and connection in groups;

  • The mindset to work with the unknown: becoming more confident leading advisories without a detailed lesson plan;

  • Tools to become more aware of our somatic intelligence, and apply that to be a grounding, stabilizing force for a group;

  • Structures to build high-quality Adult Advisory and Peer Mediation programs, as key supports for an overall advisory program;

  • Restructuring how time is used to allow more depth in conversations;

  • Ultimately: how to bring more of ourselves alive in this work, becoming the teachers we know we’re capable of being
