Are you struggling with losing teachers to higher-paying districts?  This presentation will provide pathways toward teacher retention and teacher recruitment.  We will discuss the "why" behind becoming National Board certified, the incentive possibilities, and how ESSER funds can be used to assist teachers.  Opportunity Culture will be discussed as a teacher recruitment/retention strategy through a brief overview of the design session focused on extending the reach of excellent teachers and increasing the pay for teacher leaders.

This session aims to familiarize educators with Yoga practice as a powerful tool to increase physical, mental, and emotional health. While it is suitable for absolute beginners, it is also meant to be enjoyable for those who have been already taking yoga classes. By experiencing different yoga styles and thus several poses, breathing and meditation techniques, throughout the course participants, will learn how these practices can enhance their ability to maintain a favorable climate in their school community and support resilience in and out of the classroom. While some basic yoga poses and meditation will be offered, there is no special clothing or props required for this session. Come as you are!
