SUMMARY:Meeting Stress with Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Session Description:\nAfter living through some of the most challenging experiences most of us have ever faced\, prioritizing our own well-being has become especially challenging to sustain. Many of us are struggling with balancing work and life and are exhausted by the limited time for self-care amid overwhelming demands. \nJoin us for this introduction to Mindful Self-compassion (MSC) to explore ways of extending compassion to ourselves when we need it most – during stress or struggle. Rather than adding to our to-do list\, the practice of self-compassion incorporates tools and perspectives to employ on-the-spot anytime\, anywhere. Compassion is considered to be an energizing emotion and can help us to feel more connected with others and with our own inner resources and wisdom. \nSelf-compassion involves being caring and supportive to ourselves when we experience difficulty: listening to ourselves with understanding; remembering we are not alone in our struggles; soothing\, comforting\, and protecting ourselves; and making changes out of self-love and a commitment to growth. \nResearch has demonstrated that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing\, enhanced coping with life challenges\, lower levels of anxiety and depression\, and sustaining healthy habits. \nThis introduction to self-compassion will include: \n\nTime for quiet reflection\nA brief discussion on the components of self-compassion\nExperiential learning: An invitation to try on-the-spot self-compassion practices for moments of stress\nTime to discuss learnings and connect with others (this will be optional)\nTips on simple and practical ways of starting or building upon a self-compassion practice\n\nThe session will be based on the work of Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer and the empirically supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program. \nSuggested reading for the session: \n\nThe Transformative Effects of Self-Compassion by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer\n\n\nPlease register for this event to receive the Zoom URL\nRegister for Meeting Stress with Compassion – October 13th\, 2021 \n\nPresenter Bios:\nHeather Shaughnessy-Cato\, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Trained Teacher \nHeather is a Mindful Self-Compassion Trained Teacher\, Certified Coach in Wellness & Health and Life Design\, yoga teacher\, and facilitator. In addition to teaching MSC courses\, Heather has integrated self-compassion into work with clients in community settings and through her former work as a therapist. She holds a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with clinical training in healthcare and higher education. She formerly worked in development for non-profits and higher education. Heather continues to train in mindfulness\, self-compassion\, and trauma-informed approaches to deepen her own practices and to provide services with integrity and a focus on inclusivity. \n  \nEmily Whyte Rubin\, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Trained Teacher \nEmily specializes in mind-body-emotional health and has been working in private practice and facilitating groups for the past 13 years. Emily is a Mindful Self-Compassion Trained Teacher. She is also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator in the work of Brené Brown as well as an AmSAT Certified Alexander Technique Teacher with further trauma resolution training in Somatic Experiencing®.

SUMMARY:NWACCOnline Summer A.V. Club
DESCRIPTION:The NWACConline Instructional Tech A/V Club has selected short digital resources to spark discussion on topics that are of great importance as we emerge from the changes brought about by the pandemic in our respective field of instructional technology. \nMaking Our Own Edits: What Lands on the Cutting Room Floor?\n\nJune 30th\, 2021\n3:00-4:00 PM (PDT) \nREGISTER NOW! \n  \nPre-session A/V Club homework: WorkLife: Burnout is Everyone’s Problem and Humanizing Online Learning\n\nAttendees will discuss Adam Grant’s podcast episode\, WorkLife: Burnout is Everyone’s Problem. As Grant says\, “feeling incapable of making an impact” is a leading cause of burnout and focusing on small wins can make the difference in re-engaging in our work and references the “demand\, control\, support” model. It is both inspiring and eye-opening and will provide a platform for us to discuss how we might cope as we move toward the transition into multiple modalities or f2f instruction in the next phase of the pandemic. \n  \nBefore the session begins: Members will have an opportunity to provide questions related to their viewing of Michelle Pacansky-Brock’s presentation: Humanizing Online Learning in preparation for Michelle’s session in July. You can also submit questions using our registration form. \nHave a great summer and don’t forget to register. Events will be held using Zoom. We will send the Zoom meeting URL only to individuals who have registered for the events using the registration link.

SUMMARY:Conversation with Flower Darby
DESCRIPTION:New perspectives: Supporting effective teaching with technology \nAs a result of the coronavirus\, higher education underwent a cataclysmic upheaval\, a major and previously unimaginable shift in teaching and learning modalities. We’ll reflect on our successes supporting this gargantuan transition\, what we have learned as a result of this incredibly unique experience\, and how we can best support faculty now and in the semesters to come. Bring your thoughts and questions for a rich discussion on our current moment in higher ed history. \n  \nBio: \nFlower Darby celebrates and promotes effective teaching in all class formats to include\, welcome\, and support all students as they learn and succeed.

A seasoned face-to-face and online educator\, Darby loves to apply learning science across the disciplines\, and to help others do the same. \nFlower speaks\, writes\, presents and consults on teaching and learning theory and practice both nationally and internationally. She has helped educators all over the world become more effective in their work. She is the author\, with James M. Lang\, of Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes\, and she’s a columnist for the Chronicle of Higher Education.
