WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Therapeutic Mentor and Teacher
The Webinar has been really useful. To the point, with practical ideas to put in practice , as a parent and as someone working with young people. Thank you.
Perfect Length. I liked hearing personal stories/ experiences as that stays in the mind.
"Improv-ing Behaviour: Lessons from the Stage”
When dealing with behaviour, we often need to think on our feet. The rules of improv can give us the perfect tools to navigate classroom and school dynamics with flexibility and playfulness. Watch the atmosphere shift as you move fluidly within relationships, creating a positive and engaged environment.​​​​
“Building Class Coherence: Trust, Friendship, and the Magic of Togetherness”
Classroom success isn’t just about grades—it’s about building a space where students trust each other, form friendships, and work as a team. We’ll explore how to create an environment where every pupil feels seen, heard, and valued, transforming your classroom into a community that thrives on connection.
“Rupture and Repair: The Art of Making Amends”
Mistakes happen. Repairing relationships with students is essential. We’ll explore how to mend these ruptures without dragging in shame.
“What Does Safety Really Mean?”
More than just locked doors—safety is also emotional and psychological. Explore how to create a classroom where pupils feel truly secure.
“Emotion Regulation: Strategies for Every Day and Every Child”
Emotional regulation isn’t just for those struggling—it’s for everyone. And no, this won’t add to your already packed workload. In fact, these strategies will make life easier in the long run. Our approach weaves seamlessly into your existing curriculum, making emotional regulation part of everyday learning for all pupils, without the extra stress.
“When Child-Led and Trauma-Informed Are Misunderstood”
When Child-Led and Trauma-Informed Are Misunderstood
Child-led and trauma-informed approaches are often misunderstood or misapplied. It's important to remember that child-led doesn't mean chaotic, and trauma-informed doesn't mean avoiding difficult topics. Both approaches are about building trust and creating a safe learning environment. In this workshop, we'll explore the key principles of these approaches and how to effectively implement them in your classroom.
“Developmental Tasks: The Secret to Building Stronger Relationships”
Understanding developmental milestones helps us connect with students more deeply. Let’s dive into how to turn these tasks into relationship-builders.
“When Development Gets Interrupted”
Life doesn’t always follow a neat path. Learn how to support pupils when development takes unexpected detours—without the panic!
“Ready to Ditch the Behaviour Charts? Unlocking Intrinsic Motivation”
We understand some of you love your behaviour charts—they’ve served a purpose. But what if we told you there’s a way to spark intrinsic motivation without them? While some students thrive with charts, others may struggle or feel disheartened by them. Join us in exploring new strategies that uplift every child, fostering a classroom culture where motivation comes from within, benefiting everyone.
“Seeing Through the Trauma Lens”
Behaviour isn’t always what it seems. Learn how to recognise trauma responses in students and provide support where it matters most.
