This trauma-informed, research-based training addresses the root of student behavioral problems and provides strategies to improve teacher-student relationships, enhance learning, and decrease unwanted classroom behavior.  Equally important, educators learn self-care strategies to support their own well-being, reduce burnout, and regain a joy of teaching.
 
Intended Audience: PreK-12 general and special education teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers and administrators

Objectives
  • understand how self-regulation (cognitive, behavioral, emotional and physical) develops and why some children have trouble regulating
  • learn why rewards and punishment are often ineffective toward enhancing learning or changing behavior in children
  • gain tools to address behaviors that interfere with teaching and learning such as aggression, inattention, and non-compliance
  • discover how neuroception, mirroring, and implicit memory influence behavior and regulation
  • build capacity to read the mental states (emotion, intention, desires) of others
  • recognize your triggers and learn practices to promote positive relationships with challenging students
  • increase self-awareness and practice self-care to maintain wellness and reduce burnout

Skills and techniques are based on social neuroscience, attachment theory and trauma research. Through the use of case studies, video, discussion, and experiential exercises, you will leave this workshop with concrete solutions for classroom management and insight into your behavior and relationships.
