Brain Power Wellness Reviews Its Latest Advanced Certified Teacher Leader Retreat
Brain Power Wellness hosted another successful Advanced Certified Teacher Leader retreat in early March, during which participants advanced in their skills to support the teachers in their schools in implementing BPW's Social Emotional Wellness tools in the classroom.
FOREST HILLS, N.Y., March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brain Power Wellness, a holistic, school-based wellness organization, is excited to share the recent completion of another successful Advanced Certified Teacher Leader ("ACTL") retreat, representing the highest level of training offered to teachers who have previously been certified by the organization as Teacher Leaders in their respective schools.
Held on March 1-3 at Honor's Haven Conference and Retreat Center in Ellenville, New York, the retreat included nine highly-dedicated classroom teachers who were motivated to enhance their capacity to integrate it successfully into their schools.
During this Advanced retreat, the teachers participated in team-building activities that encouraged harmonious collaboration, and shared valuable takeaways that they were excited to take back to their school communities and apply in their daily roles. Additionally, they practiced leading Staff Wellness sessions, Parent Workshops, Student Leadership Programs, and Professional Development Workshops, and also received practical guidance in how to implement Brain Power Wellness tools and activities during assemblies and other school-wide events.
As with previous retreats, Brain Power Wellness reviews from this particular event were overwhelmingly positive, with the teachers reporting that the organization successfully met their expectations in providing the tools, information, practice, and guidance needed for leading year-long student curriculums, parent workshops, staff wellness classes, and school-wide activities.
"Leaving the retreat, I feel lighter, less stressed and motivated to make Brain Power stronger in my school," said Dionisia Rigby from PS 132, one of the retreat participants. "I wish every teacher could come here to recharge. I am going back to my students feeling better than ever, and I hope this good energy will transfer to them and to their learning."
Another teacher, Tom Forde from X91 in the Bronx, said, "The Brain Power Wellness Advanced Certified Leader Retreat gives a unique opportunity for educators to refocus and connect with themselves while also learning how to best serve the cognitive and emotional needs of our children. The chance to also come together with colleagues across the Department of Education that we otherwise would not get a chance to collaborate with on such a personal and deep level is priceless. The retreat gives you a sense of renewal that goes beyond words."
