TESL Ontario Webinar

Have you ever been physically present in class, but mentally somewhere else? How does that impact your teaching abilities? Have you ever had students doing the same?

Come learn how to incorporate mindfulness techniques to the ESL class while students still practice their language. Become more connected to yourself and better equipped to handle the stresses of teaching more effectively and to cope with the demands of life. The techniques also open space to build a strong classroom community.

In this presentation, we will:

• learn key benefits of mindfulness,
• try some activities related to mindfulness,
• identify skills that can be covered with each technique, and
• reflect on how the activities helped you connect to yourself and your students.
