WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Project Hero Heroic Teaching is designed to unite and empower teachers in their demanding roles and reawaken their love of teaching. Using techniques that create empathy and teach strategies to triumph over tough times, we engage participants in an innovative, experiential ‘Hero’s Journey’ of discovery that enhances communication skills, awakens a sense of community and encourages a greater appreciation of diversity. As participants gain clarity as to their strengths and natural abilities, they gain a stronger sense of identity which builds on their teaching and relating skills. This process produces individuals better prepared to deal with the special opportunities and challenges of the classroom with creativity, compassion and empathy.
