Teachers ARE Writers with Kara Pranikoff (In Gratitude Session)
In this creative writing workshop, we provide a dedicated space for teachers and educators to reconnect with their own creative practices. This session is inspired by the In Gratitude project—a city-wide initiative rooted in the “serious noticing” of everyday joy.
Through guided prompts and collaborative discussion, we will explore how the craft of gratitude can serve as a restorative tool for educators. This is a time take creative risks and contribute your own reflections to our growing gratitude archive. Come explore your own writing in a supportive environment designed to celebrate the small wonders of being alive.
Free & open to all educators.
