Free Your Mind!
Let's get disconnected! Progressive relaxation and meditation will be offered in this session so that you can free your mind. This will be a tech free, quiet, peaceful zone for you to unwind as you see fit. Together, we will calm our minds and bodies as a form of self-care - you deserve it!

*Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, blanket, and/or comfy clothes!  We will be stretching standing up and laying down on the floor.*

Messy Learning without Losing Your Mind!

This session is a book study/in-person experience after participants (over the summer) read the book, "A Meaningful Mess" by Andi McNair. This culminating event will explore strategies for engaging, experiencing and empowering today's Gen Z and Generation Alpha learners with messy learning through taking risks in the classroom, and by seeking meaning (and fun) among the mess. Participants will leave with practical applications to use alongside the NISD curriculum for the upcoming new school year. Andi McNair will be providing an online zoom with us at Engage. You will earn 6 update GT hours only after reading the book AND attending this 80-minute Engage session.

Leveraging Technology and Communications
We all know communication is one of the most important aspects of our job. However, sometimes we do not always have a plan or know how to leverage all of the resources at our disposal to leverage a more effective communication method that meets all of our stakeholders where they are.

This session will focus on how to use Parentsquare and other NISD technology to create a plan that gives you the teacher more flexibility with communication in a manner that more effictively can reach our learners and their caretakers.
