TREC’s vision is a collaborative community that cultivates a thriving teaching profession. For this December event we want to take a moment to hear from and celebrate teachers! Join us for an interactive workshop that celebrates educators, offers gratitude, and highlights bright spots during another challenging year. With a focus from the book Onward by Elena Aguilar we will approach a “Trifecta of Mental Habits: Bright Spots, Curiosity, and Appreciation” as an approach to emotional resilience!
You will have an opportunity to connect with other educators and TREC Advisory Board Members to share your challenges and bright spots from the year. We will be joined by Ben’s Bells, TVT, SAZAEYC and local author/illustrator Adam Rex!
Then, we will end with giveaways and gift cards!
