Dear 3CSN Wayfinding Community,
We hope this email finds you well. As we move deeper into the semester in virtual time (wasn’t it August just yesterday?), we are focused on providing opportunities for powerful professional learning and community while keeping an eye toward the Winter and Spring.
This week we are immersed in our Fall design labs (two are starting on the 30th and there’s still time to register!). We are also excited to share that we are introducing two Civic Dialogues “deeper dive” workshops. Learn more below.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you may wish to join us for the Mindfulness for Educators session on Wednesday at 1 pm or the Shop Talk: Canvas session on Thursday at noon to share and problem-solve. And don’t forget the Classified Professionals Hour is every Wednesday at 3pm for support and shared learning.
Learn more about this week’s offerings, as well as session highlights, and register below. We look forward to seeing you in the network (online for now)!
