Being an educator is hard. Really hard. Long hours beyond the bell, little pay to stretch beyond the basics. We do it ‘cause we love it, we love seeing that lightbulb above a student’s head (yes, even if it’s just one). But how can we get ourselves out of the dark, lonely moments – those times when we want to quit when it feels too hard? Dr. Coco has been there so many times over her 30 years as an educator and department chair in the health sciences. She knows the hardship of feeling overworked and underpaid. As a professional Flamenco dancer/choreographer, she has worked with the masters of masters – and she has received the ancient Flamenco tradition that very specifically created beauty and strength out of hardship and oppression. She provides for you carefully curated and delivered movements that have withstood the test of time to dig deep into frustrations and come up with uplifting solutions – so you can feel refreshed to move onward and upward for yourself and your students.
Q&A follows – Learn even more about these traditional movements in the context of history as well as how you can learn from the past to make your present better. And that’s a bonus for the future of your students.
