The Hanahau'oli School Professional Development Center invites educators and administrators to a 4-part online workshop series with Jennifer Johnson of Captains & Poets this fall. Captains & Poets is on a mission to reach as many young people and educators as possible around the world to create positive change. The basic premise of the program is that we each have a unique Captain and Poet inside which enable us to be our best, most authentic selves in the world. The following sessions are available a la carte, but taken together, serve to re-empower educators through self-awareness, connection, belonging and leadership.
SESSION 1: Being a Bright Light for Students: Nurturing Personal Development to Enhance Impact
Date: Tuesday, October 22, 2024
Time: 12-1 pm Hawaii, 3-4 pm Pacific, 6-7 pm Eastern
As educators, we continue to evolve and grow in response to the needs of our students, school, and community in these challenging times, but sometimes our energy wanes and our light dims. Creating a healthy sense of well-being, belonging, and engagement in schools starts with supporting administrators and teachers alike to bring their best selves to the school setting. Join us to learn the simple language of Captain and Poet and how they work in partnership to heighten our self-awareness and highlight our unique contribution to the education of young people. Walk away with a renewed sense of purpose and ready to deepen and energize your practice.
SESSION 2: Reigniting Your Sense of Purpose
Date: Tuesday, November 19, 2024
Time: 12-1 pm Hawaii, 2-3 pm Pacific, 5-6 pm Eastern
We are all at risk of feeling overwhelmed, uninspired, and disconnected at times. Our identity and our well-being are directly correlated with having a sense of purpose in the world. Learn about your inner Captain and Poet and how they can help you reconnect with what matters most to you, reignite a sense of well-being and motivation - and find a renewed sense of purpose in all that you do! Walk away with simple strategies for energizing your personal and professional life and maintaining a sense of purpose.
SESSION 3: Teaching and Modeling Resilience
Date: Tuesday, December 10, 2024
Time: 12-1 pm Hawaii, 2-3 pm Pacific, 5-6 pm Eastern
Resilience in the classroom is a hot topic these days but we often treat it superficially and expect teachers to simply know how to nurture their own resilience and that of their students. Learn about the combining factors that contribute to each of our signature approaches to resilience and identify strategies for fueling your own resilience while creating a nurturing environment for everyone.
SESSION 4: Harnessing the Leader Within
Date: Tuesday, January 14, 2025
Time: 12-1 pm Hawaii, 2-3 pm Pacific, 5-6 pm Eastern
What would your school be like if every teacher was empowered to ignite their own unique expression of leadership? Explore your inner Captain and Poet and how their partnership has the potential to help you identify the intrinsic value you bring to your role and how to navigate challenges. See that the secret to being the best leader you can be is by showing up as your authentic self!
