PD INFO: Thursday Afternoon LEarning Series (TALES) - The Magic of Mindfulness, May 14

Dear Special Education Directors,

Please join us for our next episode of the Thursday Afternoon LEarning Series, or TALES,  on Thursday, May 14, 2020 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., when we welcome special guest lecturer Jamie Valderrama, a national and international speaker and current Undergraduate Coordinator at Arizona State University for the Integrative Health Initiative, to present for us “The Magic of Mindfulness.”

We are all currently experiencing extraordinary levels of stress on a daily basis with the demands of working from home while caring for family members, supporting our own children’s online learning, and worrying about all our students and their families. Stir-crazy and stressed is not a good place to be! But luckily, we know there are some simple, free things that can help. Mindfulness is increasingly gaining attention worldwide with the emergence of promising data showing how the simple act of being aware can deregulate the body’s stress response, leading to a happier and healthier life. “The Magic of Mindfulness” highlights the stress response (physically and psychologically) as well as applicable mindful practices to deregulate stressful triggers in our personal and professional lives. This presentation is funny, insightful, and may help you not only get through this crisis, but it may also change your life.

Participant registration is first-come, first-served and is not limited to special educators – feel free to forward. Please click here to register.

Questions regarding this TALES professional learning opportunity can be sent to the ESS Inbox or directed to the ESS receptionist at 602-542-4013.
