Two teahcers in Teacher Renewal workshop, Fall 2009.The Academy is continuing the program, recently initiated in Santa Fe, which will provide ongoing support for teachers to discover and live out of the renewable resource of their own heartfelt dreams and passion for what teaching can and should be. Please join us and continue to be part of co-creating our Teacher Renewal initiative. This is a chance to deepen the focus on yourself as a teacher and to reconnect further with your innate love of learning.

Experiential methods will be combined with reflection, contemplation and dialogue into a transformative process whose goal is the re-acquaintance with the essence of learning. Participants will also have time to be in dialogue with other teachers, to develop and refine their personal educational philosophy, and to be a part of a group of facilitators and teachers who will support them in their passion to teach from this philosophy in the classroom. At the end of the three-part series, participants will have a procedure for using ongoing reflection as the foundation for 'keeping learning alive' and thus ongoing renewal.

This series is now continuing in its thrid year with the addition of monthly Wisdom Circles. We will also have our second annual Teacher Renewal Summer Institute in June 2011.

Note: Our program is now approved as professional development for teachers within the district. Sign-up is through the Santa Fe School District Professional Development Academy (atasan [at ]sfps.info).
