Deeper Learning 2023

“Get good grades. Work to improve your test scores. Get into an acclaimed college. Land your dream job.” Even today, these are the directives fed to children in the current education system from kindergarten all the way through college. They are the mantras — given in love — by teachers, administrators, and even parents, in order to help the next generation reach “success” and “happiness.” But is this true? Are these the marks of a person’s success and happiness in life?

In this breakout session, you will be led through a deep learning experience that will uncover subconscious messaging of success that hinders the way we educate and raise our children today. You will be led through an interactive workshop where you will:
1) Reflect and take inventory of your own K-12 schooling by focusing on moments of shame, pride, & achievement
2) Uncover subconscious messaging around the meaning of “success” and the meaning of “not success.”
3) Apply a framework to build a new future for students that is based on the 4 pillars of conscious education

By the end, you will leave with further understanding of the differences between unconscious and conscious education and how to utilize conscious practices to empower schools, communities, and our young people. In a time where mental health and emotional support is so critical for our children, there is an even greater need for you to take inventory of subliminal messages that affect our children. We welcome you on this journey!
