STEM Ed Announcement: Mindfulness Retreat for Teachers at Woolman Hill in Deerfield, MA on Sunday, November 22

[Morton Sternheim <mort@k12s.phast.umass.edu>]

Places are still available at the Mindfulness Retreat for Teachers at
Woolman Hill in Deerfield, MA on Sunday, November 22, 2009, 8:30 am-4:30 pm.

We always ask our students to pay attention, but do we teach them how?

You are invited to join fellow educators as we turn our attention to simple
practices that use the qualities of our mind and senses of our body to focus
attention, deal with stress, and uphold wellbeing. Special guest Richard
Brady, founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network, will be with us to
share effective strategies he developed in 30 years as a mathematics
teacher.

$80 registration fee includes a farm-fresh lunch

Participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
