One way I am committing to competency in this area is by engaging in various Professional Development courses offered online through the CRCPD, Friday Institute, and other organizations. I am also actively searching out books to assist in my own professional development to learn more about topics of interest or areas; please see the pictures to the right to view some of my favourites on my bookshelf right now!

Throughout my PSIII practicum I was able to engage in two PL days with RVS. During the first PL Day I was able to take the MindUp course through Stepping Stones for Mental Health, which allowed for me to implement mindfulness practices into my classroom structure and routine. This also helped develop my Professional Inquiry Project which was something I also worked on during our Self-Directed PL Day- My PIP explored the question: should mindfulness practices be used as a pathway to support SEL and self-regulation in the early elementary classroom?
