Elisa Sednaoui Instagram – Why do I love working with educators so much?
Because they dedicate their lives to their students’ futures despite being often underpaid and overstretched. Because they can make all the difference in someone’s life.
Something is terribly off in our systems: we overpay for luxury whilst undervaluing those who dedicate their lives to educating the next generation.
Education is a child’s first experience of the world beyond home; it is a formative space that, when approached mindfully and constructively, becomes a lifelong journey and the foundation for concrete change. Soft skills education – from listening to teamwork and a solution oriented mindset- is needed by all, privileged or underprivileged alike.
The Funtasia training at @uclaseis is nearly complete – only one session left!
These weeks of diving into linguistic intelligence, cognitive patterns, constructive feedback, conflict management (and not resolution, because conflict doesn’t always get fully resolved), and concrete strategies to address bullying are the proof of how transformative education can be when we focus on the whole person.
Hearing this group of Los Angeles (and one who has been travelling from Las Vegas to be with us!) telling us how they are already utilising the tools they are acquiring into their work in classrooms is a truly defining moment.
For me personally, this marvellous journey is pushing me to face my own fears and limiting beliefs. Together, we’re creating classrooms where every student feels empowered and every teacher is equipped to lead with heart. | Posted on 11/Nov/2024 00:22:20
