I loved the readings and videos in this program. I am grateful to be able to expand on my own well-being so that I can continue to pursue supporting the 'whole being' of my students.

There is a lot of material here that I need to read and re-read. I do not feel that I have completed a course...I think this is just the beginning of a whole new cycle. Thank you:)
From the lesson
Joy, passion, and enjoyment in teaching
The value of reflection on and examination of joy and passion, as well as other related emotions in teaching is seen as another example of an enhanced 鈥済ranularity鈥� that can be gained by teachers through a reflection on emotions.
