SUMMARY:Fermentation Friday - Fermented Fixin’s
DESCRIPTION:Fermentation Friday takes place at the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø in Orono. During Fermentation Friday\, held at the Uº£½ÇÉçÇø Food Lab in Hitchner Hall\, participants cook\, create\, share\, and connect. Using recipes as starting points\, we explore fermentation\, storytelling\, food rescue\, and local food systems. Over the past four semesters\, we have hosted authors and chefs who have enriched our sessions with their expertise. \nFor Fall 2025\, we have an exciting lineup of sessions planned: \nNovember 21 – Fermented Fixin’s\nDecember 5 – Festive Ferments \nAt the heart of the Fermentation Friday program is a commitment to foster deep connections. We strive to provide hands-on experiences that empower individuals to ferment and share stories while learning through observation\, exploration\, and reflection on our human relationship with microbes. \nFermentation Friday ​i​s a cross-disciplinary space\, and it is our hope that it will ​​spark curiosity in ​the exciting emerging sciences that depart from our understanding of fermentation processes​.

SUMMARY:Teaching from the Heart: Nonviolent Communication
DESCRIPTION:If your employer is a compact member of the Harold Alfond Center for the Advancement of º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Workforce\, you may be eligible to take this program at a reduced cost. Visit our Harold Alfond Center Workforce Development Funding page for more information. \nProgram description \nHave you ever felt like you were more of a problem-solver than a teacher? Your best-made lesson plans are delayed by listening to your students argue about a problem that occurred at recess. You deal with this stress by addressing the class in a way that you regret. You know you’re a great teacher but you’re overwhelmed. \nIf this sounds familiar\, Teaching from the Heart is the professional development course for you. Using a curriculum based on Nonviolent Communication principles\, this program will provide you with tangible ways to manage your classroom and reach your full potential as an educator. Our doubts as caregivers and teachers are inevitable. If we have a system to refer to when these doubts creep in\, we can relax. \nLearn how to manage your classroom/learning environment with a practical\, simple curriculum based on Nonviolent Communication expert Gina Simm’s book Heart to Heart: Three Systems for Staying Connected (A Manual for Parents and Teachers). Through participating in this course\, you’ll learn how to use practical systems to maintain the heart-to-heart connections that support children’s ability to self-regulate and improve their emotional intelligence. \nParticipants are encouraged (though not required) to purchase instructor Gina Simm’s book\, Heart to Heart: Three Systems for Staying Connected (A Manual for Parents and Teachers).* \nPROGRAM BENEFITS \nLearn how to manage conflict in your classroom \nBuild an understanding of Nonviolent Communication methods \nUnderstand the power of children’s books to support social-emotional learning (SEL) \nRecognize the difference between empathy and problem solving \nTransform your learning environment! \nTOPICS COVERED \nThis course provides a full social-emotional curriculum based on Nonviolent Communication principles. Systems and tools like the Wheel of Choice and Problem-Solving Meetings will help you transform your learning environment. You’ll even learn how to use children’s literature to implement Nonviolent Communication in your classroom. \nWHO SHOULD ENROLL \nThis course is designed to benefit teachers\, educators and anyone who cares about children (preschoolers through third grade)\, especially: \nAfterschool program staff \nCaregivers \nChildcare providers \nEducators \nGrandparents \nHomeschool teachers and organizations \nMontessori teachers \nParents and guardians \nSchool counselors \nSummer camp counselors \nTeachers (including those in training) \nNot sure if this program is right for you?

Her background in Montessori education and children’s theater launched her into the world of public schools where she spent most of her career as a first-grade teacher (including a year spent teaching English in China). Simm worked closely with Miki Kashtan\, a co-founder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication. Simm’s knowledge of Nonviolent Communication has transformed her classroom into a place where systems of the heart create a child-centered environment for moving through conflict. Simm lives in the Pioneer Valley Cohousing Community in Amherst\, Massachusetts.
