Poetry in the Classroom: Facilitating a Healing and Learning Community.
Remote but Connected: Navigating the Storms of our Lives Through Poetry and Writing - National Association of Poetry Therapy Annual Conference
(2021)
Abstract
In our current times, the world is filled with spaces fraught with division and contestation. The classroom community is a sacred space for learning and healing – a space for civil discourse, critical reflection and emotional healing. Poetry in the classroom can help to create a safe holistic space for both learning and healing by developing trust, a sense of belonging and respect for differences amongst students and teachers. In this session, led by Laurie Anderson Sathe, EdD, participants will look to poetry about community from diverse perspectives to learn about what community means in different contexts and how we can nurture it in the classroom setting through the use of and engagement with poetry. Participants will also explore the relationship between learning and healing in community—can we foster both in the classroom in a culturally sensitive way?
