SUMMARY:Making Space for Your Own Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Overview  Are you feeling pushed to the margins? Stretched beyond your capacity to care? Not sure how to make room for yourself (much less support students while doing so)? You are not alone.    In this workshop\, we’ll engage in contemplative practices to center ourselves in our authenticity—the heart of true belonging. After connecting with our authentic selves\, we’ll learn about Susie Wise’s Design for Belonging framework\, then use it to dream\, plot\, and make actionable plans for transforming our teaching work into spaces that foster our belonging.    Along the way\, I’ll share a few stories of how I’ve used Wise’s design levers to cultivate a practice of transformative authenticity that makes room for my students\, colleagues\, and I to be (im)perfectly human learners together.    After participating in this workshop\, you'll be able to:     	Identify core aspects of your authentic self that you want to bring to your teaching.   	Describe how you can use levers of belonging to create moments of belonging.   	Design at least one practice for fostering your own belonging through your teaching work.
