Andre Shields said "Slowly is the fastest way to get to where you want to be." Our students, teachers and communities exist in a world of instant gratification, the increasing speed of technological growth and need for more. How do we teach them to relish the process and not the goal. This workshop will introduce strategies for educators to bring clay and mindfulness to their classrooms and school communities. Taught by a person who is blind and a person who is hard of hearing, participants will also think deeply about ability and perspective taking. How far can we go if we simply slow down?
