Introducing BayNVC's newest program
Tools for the 21st Century Educator

Bringing NVC to Our Schools  

As part of our new 2012 curricula, we are delighted to announce our education series - Tools for the 21st Century Educator. We designed these workshops for teachers, parents and mentors because we wanted to contribute to the very important work you do with our nation's children.  Our hope is to give you additional tools to help you create honest and trusting relationships with your students and children. We begin the program with a 2-day workshop in February, followed by a variety of workshops sure to pique your interest, and culminating in a 5-day retreat in July. 

It is with gratitude and reverence for your work 

that we invite you to join us in this exploration!
