COCONINO COUNTY — The Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth has created a series of no cost webinars for professionals, parents and youth, to provide them skills that are needed now more than ever.

Mindfulness for Professionals and Parents, an hour-long webinar that highlights the importance mindfulness holds for both individuals and for those we are working with.

One participant said:

“Mindfulness is an important part of daily operations! We need to remember to take time for ourselves. I love the acronyms and will share with my NAU students!!!!” 

Mindfulness Challenge For Youth, a 45-minute webinar, empowers youth and young adults with information to grow, heal, thrive and/or otherwise flourish. We are also inviting youth to find ways to become a leader in our community.

Another participant shared their reaction to the webinar:

“The course was great and I feel like I learned insightful information that will help me in the near future.” 

Self-Healing Communities with Kevin Campbell is an argument for moving away from treating individuals, community members and families as the “recipient” of services, from medicalizing unlivable lives, from not acknowledging systems of injustice and a move toward the scientifically-based call to action of participation, truth and community healing.

“This presentation is outstanding- thank you!” “Thank you for the space and conversation….this was excellent!”​​​​​​

Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, the Arizona Department of Education and Northern Arizona University announced today the creation of the Arizona Teacher Residency, a first-of-its-kind graduate program in Arizona modeled after medical residencies, to help recruit, prepare, support and retain K-12 teachers. The two-year program will provide aspiring teachers with in-classroom experience, living stipends, a master’s degree and a job at a partnering school district.

The Arizona Department of Education awarded the Arizona K12 Center at Northern Arizona University with a $5 million grant from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund to design, launch and expand the Arizona Teacher Residency in response to the state’s teacher shortage and high teacher turnover rate.
