About the event
Join us for this hands-on professional development opportunity with Dr. Gabriel Alejandro Cortez, PhD, Director of ENLACE Leadership Institute and Professor of the Literacy, Leadership, & Development with the College of Education at Northeastern Illinois University.
His reserach interests have focused on grassoots activisim in education; intercultural relations, cultural identity, globalization and Chicago history. (NEIU faculty website)
Bringing self and collective care into the classroom is a vital part of our work as educators.
Dr. Cortez shares that "Instructors, you have the power to make self and collective care a priority in your classes. Self care refers to taking care of yourself. Further, collective care is a form of caring for the community. However, self care IS NOT a selfish act. It is in itself caring for the community by engaging in practices that heal, recharge, refocus, etc. It is difficult to perform optimally when you have not shown care for yourself."
