Putting Down What You Are Carrying... & Preparing For The Tasks At Hand!
Our personal troubles, private challenges, and societal crises beyond our control can become baggage over time, and we risk dumping it on others. Putting down the baggage can be scary. It will require us to redefine who we are and what we are capable of becoming. Unresolved issues due to the disruption of the pandemic, unforeseen setbacks, societal unrest, neglected relationships, career failures, illnesses, or huge financial loss may lead to over indulgent and/or other unhealthy behavior in order to mask underlying issues. Our future success depends on our willingness to unpack and put down our baggage. Join Dr. Brown on this remarkable journey of “letting it go and emptying it out.”
Doing What's Best for Students...Walking The Talk!™
"Doing what's best for students" is a common phrase tossed around in education often without subsequent clarifying conversations. This master class will explore what it really means in practical terms to do what's best for students with the understanding that we all are fallible human beings. What is “best” for students is rarely a single, narrowly-focused strategy, approach, and/or philosophy. This is a journey that will require all to think beyond the "core curriculum" as well as self-reflect and possibly self-correct. From a developmental perspective, we know what is "best" can and will differ depending on the students' ages, background, community needs, etc. Students are happier, healthier, and better educated when given diverse and multiple opportunities for expression. To accomplish this we must work to nurture the soul as well as the brain. Rich opportunities for a variety of experiences help students become well-rounded adults. Participants will leave WOWED, STUNNED, and TOUCHED! Tears and Cheers will abound!
Closing "The Empathy Gap™" From Dr. Brown's Groundbreaking Research
Closing the Empathy Gap™ is apart of Dr. Brown's groundbreaking research stemming from his doctoral dissertation https://bit.ly/38lTFKc resulting in Dr. Brown providing successful seminars to countless law enforcement agencies, businesses, and educational institutions around the world. Dr. Brown coined the terms "The Empathy Gap™" as the space that exist between individuals where there's not a bridge of understanding and compassion. Empathy is the foundation for which human beings connect. When the connection is absent, anything built up this divided foundation, will also have a divide - health, wealth, justice, achievement, equity, etc. Dr. Brown's master theses and doctoral dissertation helped him set the stage for his life's work of Spreading Love, Light and Insight while bridging the various divides built upon the Empathy Gap™. This is an inspiring and informing journey of self-reflection and if needed, self-correction.
Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover! Culturally Responsive Teaching
Literally, one cannot tell the contents of a book by just looking at the material used to hold it together. A book with a torn and worn cover may be more important, more entertaining, or more useful than a book bound in a flashier manner. The same can be extended to relationships. The prejudice of making decisions solely based on outward appearance could cost one the chance of a meaningful encounter.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program the attendees will gain the following:
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to avoid the “pejorative tradition” of falling into the trap of only looking at the surface of people, things, and ideas without taking the time and effort to delve deeper into them.
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to utilize strict self-discipline, concepts of diversity, inclusion, equity and fairness in putting prejudices aside and looking deeper into everything we do.
