Reframing Behaviour: You are the Strategy
In this workshop, we will examine the implications of a variety of mindsets and ways we respond to student behaviour that challenges us. We will explore ideas for supporting students in compassionate, brain-based ways that helps build positive relationships. We will discuss the importance of coregulation (helping a student return to calm) as an opportunity to model and teach social emotional skills in authentic and practical ways. When we reframe behaviour, it can enhance student connection, help develop emotional regulation skills, encourage perspective taking and foster a sense of belonging. Leave with new ideas about how to show up for all students in a way that meets their needs and yours.
