SUMMARY:Compassion in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Global Learning for an Open World (GLOW) Conference is a premier virtual event dedicated to global education and innovation. This conference aims to enhance global competencies\, foster cross-border collaboration\, nurture dynamic global citizenship\, and ensure equitable access to quality education for all. \n  \nAbout the Event\nGive yourself the gift of time to connect with a community of educators who believe that teaching compassion is important. Take part in this discussion journey to gain ideas\, reflect on practice and share how you foster compassion in your classroom and community\, including free resources and suggestions from Compass Education and the Institute of Human Education. \nThis presentation will give educators tools to build a strong classroom community. All schools today have a diverse range of students with a variety of backgrounds to consider. Additionally\, there are many challenges we are all facing in this ever-changing world. Educators need to take time to support students in developing strategies to deal with stress and regulate themselves so they can be in the right state for learning and collaborating. This presentation will provide tools and strategies to use in classrooms to create a safe and calm learning environment. Teachers who attend will practice using some of them and will leave with a list of ideas to use in the classroom ranging from mindfulness\, communication tools\, and conflict resolution to create an inclusive and kind community. The hope is to give time to the importance of having a learning space that allows students to feel safe and ready to learn. \nThe presentation will provide Compass Education and Institute for Humane Education tools and strategies. It will not only share the resources but also provide the opportunity for us to use some of them together to help understand them clearly and implement them well. There will be a bank of resources for teachers to use and these will be shared in the session. There will also be time for teachers to share their own ideas\, creating a community within the session. It will be broken into sections of understanding the importance of compassion\, tools for setting up a community\, strategies to continue building a safe community and ideas on setting up an inclusive learning space. \n  \nREGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE HERE\n  \n——————————————————— \n  \nPresenter\nBetsy Farrell-Messenger (Institute of Humane Education)\nBetsy Farrell-Messenger has been in the education field for 25 years.
