We are here to support you as you step into your own classroom for the first time as a professional educator! The Fueled for Success series is a great opportunity for Northern Arizona University students preparing to be teachers. Each of the four sessions are designed to support the transition between pre-service to practicing professional. Together, we will cover topics pertinent to the beginning of the school year and how to navigate your first teaching experience.

Build Calm to Lend Calm
In this session, you will learn key skills and habits to support both your own and your students’ social and emotional learning. Author of The Supportive Classroom and school psychologist Laura Anderson will share her first-hand account of the impact that social and emotional learning can have on your career sustainability as well as on your students’ social and emotional health. The session will cover ways to prevent compassion fatigue and strategies to reduce stress that build your resilience as a new teacher. Learn how your own social and emotional learning can translate into your students’ success!
