WHY EDUCATORS MATTER 

Empowering the Next Generation for Lifelong Success


While we may not know what the jobs of the future will hold, we do know that the next generation would greatly benefit from developing the ability to skillfully communicate, self-regulate in appropriate ways, voice their needs and boundaries, understand their values and walk with them, and manage ongoing stress. These lifelong skills are essential not only in the workplace, but also within our relationships. Our kids deserve to be equipped with the best tools at their disposal to navigate an ever-changing and complex world.

Hear Directly From My Successful Students

  • The Embodied Educator group has been such a benefit to my teaching practice! Kris is always prepared with a discussion topic that furthers my own understanding of emotional literacy while also having tangible resources to bring into the classroom. Getting to connect monthly with a group of educators to discuss ways in which we are implementing the ideas in our own classrooms serves as a light of inspiration to continue integrating the content. The benefit of having other educators who know the system while also having a mutual understanding of language around emotional literacy practices is irreplaceable. I look forward to continuing in the Embodied Educator program because I can see and feel the ways in which this content has helped me and is helping my students. This work truly is revolutionary to the education system and I am proud to be a member of this group, doing such important work for the future generations.

  • I learned so much from the monthly educators group. Many times I changed my lesson plans for the very next day to reflect the ideas and practices taught. These classes made me a better teacher and a better person.

Monthly Themes 2024/2025

Each month we explore a new theme. Classes will consist of a short pre-teaching recording, a mindfulness exercise, break-out activities, and large group discussion. Sessions will be recorded for those who are unable to make class.

The Wholehearted Classroom

According to Dr. Brené Brown, the Wholehearted are those who live their lives from a place of worthiness. They have the courage and compassion to live life heart-open. This month we will explore the Guideposts of Wholehearted Living and how they can be applied within your classroom.

The Language of the Body

Experts believe that anywhere from 70%-93% of our communication is non-verbal. This month's sessions explore how to read the signals in our own body - as well as those of others - so that we can more accurately attend to the needs that arise. 

From Co-Regulation to Self-Regulation

Healthy self-regulation does not develop as a natural process of aging. Rather, it is taught through ongoing co-regulating experiences with others - particularly our caregivers. Learn how to effectively co-regulate with others.

Creating Comfort: Classroom Design for Student Success

Learn how to increase feelings of comfort, safety, and togetherness through classroom design and how adding simple elements can positively influence regulation and optimize learning outcomes.

The Art of Reflective Goal Settling

Enhance the tradition of New Year's resolutions by guiding your students (and yourself) through a reflective process of assessing the various areas of healthy living. Use this knowledge to gain self-awareness and set goals in alignment with your needs, values, and aspirations.

Love Languages in Learning: Enhancing Classroom Relationships

We all express and receive love in different ways. This month, we will learn about the 5 Love Languages based on the work of Dr. Gary Chapman. These insights can help both you and your students to better understand one another's needs and how to best offer support and care.

Unmasking Cognitive Distortions: Strategies for Clear Thinking

Our brains are continually processing information. We all have well-worn pathways of thinking that arise when we are feeling overwhelmed. This month we will learn to identify when you or your students are stuck in one of these ruts and develop the skills to cultivate healthier thinking habits. 

Awakening Self-Knowledge: Identifying Personal Needs

Have you ever taken the time to really sit down to determine what your needs were in a given situation? What about in the scope of your family life? Your career? Your personal care? Identifying your needs and helping your students to do the same is an integral component of self-regulation.

Strength & Kindness: Setting Healthy Boundaries

Help students overcome people pleasing tendencies and learn to kindly and assertively advocate for themselves. Empower them to communicate their needs with strength and kindness and take initiative with regard to their health and wellbeing.

Fostering Self-Compassion in Students

Based on the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, tender self-compassion allows us to provide the self-care that we require in order to navigate challenging emotions, allowing us to get unstuck and move forward with grace. Self-kindness fosters resiliency and helps students manage challenges with empathy.

MY MISSION

Hi, I’m Kris Garner, founder of The Emotional Literacy Movement.

I began my career in the public school system back in 2007 as a middle years teacher. Over the decade that followed, my life changed dramatically as I started my family and tried to balance the needs of my students with my personal needs and my family responsibilities. After experiencing health issues brought on by the effects of chronic stress, I left the public school system and began my journey of recovery.
What I learned along the way was so simple, and yet so deeply impactful. I was astonished that the knowledge and skills I had gained were not more common place in our current institutions of education. Through my research and experience, I learned that emotional wellbeing is the core foundation of learning. If you don't feel safe, you can't learn..period. It is also a core element of healthy relationships, emotional regulation, resiliency, communication skills, self-confidence, self-compassion, physical wellbeing, predictions of levels of happiness in life...the list goes on and on. 
I am honoured to be offering a second round of our successful Embodied Educators Training. I can confidently say that this 10 month journey will deeply enrich your personal as well as your professional life. I look forward to the learning and connections that will emerge in the coming months.
Warmly,
Kris
