“Room to Breathe” Community of Practice

Led by Greater Good Science Center facilitators, California educators will envision, experience, and co-create caring, compassionate, equitable and connected learning communities.

Our Community Goals

  • To deepen our understanding of science-based well-being practices and their impact on educators and the diverse communities they serve

  • To experience well-being practices as adult learners in community

  • To reflect on the application of well-being practices for ourselves and our school communities

Reaching All Staff
