SUMMARY:Creating Safer Spaces funded by Remake Learning
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our online event\, where we will discover how to foster environments where everyone feels respected\, heard\, and supported. This session blends practical strategies with self-awareness to help build trust\, reduce harm\, and nurture community belonging. Don’t miss out on this chance to participate in this important conversation! \nShannon Jenkins\, program deliverer at Awaken Pittsburgh\, has had two life events that have placed her squarely in the experience of life-before and life-after: cancer and the loss of mobility as-she-knew-it at age twelve\, and the death of her brother when she was 27. Both carved the paths she would take to working with neurodivergent learners and the gravitation to mindfulness practice. Shannon began teaching neurodivergent learners in 1999\, and has worked as a caseworker for non-profits and government agencies as well. She has been in a relationship with meditation and mindfulness practice for 11 years. Shannon finds putting hands in soil\, petting animals\, laughter\, silliness\, movement\, and deep hugs an important part of this practice. She believes learning to love where you are is a radical act. \nMindfulness\, Meditation Training for Work and Life | Awaken Pittsburgh \nNotes: \nThe event link will be shared via your registered email. \nACT 48 hours available upon request. Hours for certified teachers in Pennsylvania.

Dr. McCaleb shares what it takes to create schools where equitable access to literacy isn’t just a hope—it’s the standard.You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how every educator can be a literacy advocate—and how lasting change begins when we confront the uncomfortable truth: we’ve seen the gaps\, we’ve seen the students falling through them\, and the systems aren’t changing fast enough.\nDr. Amanda McCaleb is a national literacy leader\, systems builder\, and passionate dyslexia advocate with over 15 years of experience in K–12 education\, higher ed\, and large-scale educator development. Her work centers on bridging research and practice—helping educators transform reading instruction through the science of reading and sustained support that drives real change.
