Fall 2024 Workshops for Teachers
Vocal Care for Teachers
Sunday October 6th, 1-4pm
This workshop is designed to support teachers in taking care of their voices and themselves while teaching by developing healthy vocal habits to improve vocal stamina and clarity. This will include work with breathing, posture, and overall balance to develop a strategy for vocal health. In this workshop you will receive individual attention and feedback on your habits and practice speaking in front of a group. You will also review how to recuperate at the end of the teaching day.
Build Presence and Awareness in the Classroom
Sunday October 27th, 1-4pm
This workshop will teach you skills for seeing the bigger picture in your classroom by cultivating a global spatial awareness. This is a skill necessary for teachers to take care of themselves while monitoring and managing students’ behavior. This awareness helps support the teacher’s overall energy and focus. In this workshop you will build a game plan for yourself in the classroom so that you can guide the students in your desired direction and recuperate at the end of the day.
This 10 minute guided lie down is designed to help you pause and center yourself before and after work. It guides you through a process of checking in with your mind and body so that you can return to a more balanced, connected place.
NY State teachers can receive CTLE credits with workshops and trainings at the BAC. Through building awareness of your own movement and thought patterns in the classroom, teachers can improve their skills in public speaking, classroom management, leadership, and incorporate ways to reduce stress and fatigue.
We offer workshops and consultations to improve workplace wellness for individuals and companies. We help you cultivate awareness so that you can increase energy and productivity while preventing injury and working pain free. Topics range from ergonomics, public speaking and presentation skills, to balance, posture, and recuperation.
