About the Course

In this book study, educators will focus on the latest neuroscience research as it pertains to the most effective strategies and habits that help you manage your mental bandwidth and prioritize drains on mental energy. Educators will focus on six key factors that contribute to their bandwidth: balancing their priorities, filtering through possibilities, mental habits that improve focus, physical habits that fuel the brain, connection with others and workload and time management. By establishing good habits, focusing on what’s possible within your locus of control, and balancing priorities, educators can improve their bandwidth and feel more engaged, centered, and become more effective in their work.

Required Text:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Evaluate their own mental bandwidth and stress and how it pertains to both their professional and personal lives. 
  • Identify what areas in which educators can improve their own bandwidth in six different areas.
  • Create lessons, plans and journals for implementing a framework that allows for each individual educator to improve their own bandwidth.

Reviews

Karen Buntinas
This class had real world, concrete ideas on how a teacher can set boundaries. I learned some great techniques, but also I have a better understanding of the kind of mindset I need going forward to maintain my passion and energy.
Grace Hauck
This was a great class. I LOVED the book and will keep it by my desk during the year as a good reminder to flip through. Stephanie Fast brings great courses to Co-Pilot and this is one of many that I've taken by her. I highly recommend this course and you will get a lot out of it.
