At FLAG we believe that teacher development is the essence of all learning. The Mindful teachers toolkit conducted by Ms.Ashna Shah on Monday,4th July was a workshop that set pace for a holistic classroom environment as teachers and students get geared to come back ‘in person’
Strategies and practices were introduced and discussed through an interactive session which began on a meditative note to warm up and create the mood for the session ahead.
A warm up game played in groups , left the teachers smiling , laughing and feeling positive.
A lot of ideas were shared on creating awareness for the synergy between mind and body and the icing on the cake was the special glitter jar created by each teacher , which enabled them feel calm, relaxed and focused. A profound takeaway here was that we are in control of our emotions, as we can choose which seeds we want to water and this brought the group back to the art of practising mindfulness.
The session ended with a heart warming poem ‘smiling at your anger’ and when recited together, it was like a common prayer made with faith and love for new beginnings of the academic year.
