As fall settles in, October offers the perfect reminder to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with purpose. At ed.PATH, we’re celebrating A Month of Mindfulness—a time to care for yourself as deeply as you care for your students. Great teaching starts with your well-being. That’s why these curated resources are designed to foster both your professional growth and personal balance.
