Reflection
The Autism Academy for Education and Development has consistently demonstrated
excellence in the ability for both administrators and educational staff to connect with each and
every student in the academy on a personal, first-name basis. It has been addressed recently,
however, that the work relationships between coworkers across different classrooms, offices and
buildings. In order to address this issue with the intent to educate and mediate barriers between
professional peers, the lead contact regarding professional development has allowed me the
chance to use the first ten minutes of each regularly scheduled all-staff meeting every month to
educate and illustrate the importance and relevancy of holistic health elements that relate to
At the beginning of each meeting, I will introduce myself and the topic of the month to
explain its importance and how every employee can benefit from incorporating these healthier
living standards into their life. After introductions, the audience will become participants by
breaking into pairs or groups and take part in an activity directly related to the holistic health
topic at-hand. All exercises will be tied to methods that employees can implement practically
into their daily work schedules. Activities, such as stretches, peer-to-peer book
clubs/recommendations, and understanding cultural diversity in their workplace can all help to
reduce stress and anxiety that can occur within the workplace. By reducing stress in these six
different elements of life, employees can achieve more work satisfaction, increase their chances
of long-term retention, and naturally contribute to a positive, productive and enriching work
environment.
