Imad Zaheer, Ph.D.

Todd Whitaker said, "the best thing about being a teacher is that it matters. The hardest thing about being a teacher is that it matters every day." This is even more true today with COVID-19, racial unrest and uncertainty and fear as we go back into the new school year. This presentation will help provide mindfulness strategies based on Acceptance & Commitment Training (ACT) to help develop more flexibility in the face of stress and commit to taking action towards what matters to you.
