1. Hi! My name is Stephen, though I generally go by Ashe (please don't tell my students)!

2. I teach multiple ELA courses, from grades 9-12! I've always felt that self-expression is important, especially among students, and as someone whose spent a lot of time involved with theater, this seemed great!

3. I'm hoping to learn how to apply self-expression to more lessons within my content area!

1) I'm Heather and I teach music at the MS/HS level.

2) I am a performer and one of the things I am always trying to get my choir kids to buy in on is the power of performance.

3) I'm hoping this will give me some tools to help my choir students reach deeper to access their acting/ performing abilities to communicate the meaning and emotion behind the music we are performing.

Hello! My name is Shraddha and I am a high school teacher. I am interested in maxing out on the salary table for my district, and I saw this course posted and recommended on the UTLA Member Professional Development Group. It seemed like a good fit as it is self-paced and deals with emotional intelligence. I hope to obtain two things: some strategies to use with my students and a salary point.

3. I took Psychology classes in undergrad and have always been interested in the human mind. It intrigues me even more now as a High School Teacher, especially in the effects of a Post- Pandemic world.

My name is Dana and I am a high school ELA teacher. I'm interested in this class because I think it's a really cool concept to connect theater to cognitive development.

I'm hoping to learn strategies to know my mind better and be able to teach my students how they might use some of these skills to navigate high school.

My name is Chelsea and I currently work in hospitality and am going to school for social work. I am very interested in taking this class to see a different approach to learning and teaching life skills.

1) Jess

2) exploring new techniques/insights for understanding Human motivations and behavior, and how to approach processing this

3) increased emotional insight, sharing and learning with others, techniques I can use for myself and my relationships and communications with others

2-I am interested in CBT for myself and others. I feel like this class will be a fun way to learn and implement some CBT where I need it.

3-I want to learn for myself, to become better, and I want to learn to help others.

1. My name is Loresa

2. The thing that interested me most about this class is that it is self paced. I had been trying to attend the CBT via Zoom but always get busy when the Zoom sessions were on. Our school day is ending when those sessions are happening and everyone is in a frenzy to get out. This be beneficial for me as also am facing burnout with college, covid, and working 6 days a week.

3. New ways to deal with stress as well as coping skills that actually work.
