It gives the average person the power to persuade and influence and allows for direct communication around the world. Social media is also a hotly debated source of misinformation and potentially harmful content.

41. The Adult Experience - When Children's Behaviors are Triggering (for grades 6-12) - Virtual

Program: Office of School Improvement - CTLE Approved Sponsor

Dates: 2/16/2023

One of the greatest game changers in doing this work is recognizing behavior as communication. What are they really communicating? What's being said without words? What need are they, likely subconsciously or unconsciously, trying to meet? We are rarely in the present moment - either triggered from our past or projecting into the future in the midst of an undesirable behavior. The true magic is when we can return to the present to SEE the child in front of us and get curious about their current need.

What narratives did you grow up with about behavior? What comes up for you in the moment? This workshop will support you in accessing the tools in your toolbox to calm your nervous system proactively and reactively in order to navigate children's triggering behaviors.

Would you like strategies for creating more welcoming and affirming learning spaces for LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and families? This professional learning opportunity provides the tools you need! While progress is slowly being made to create more welcoming and affirming learning spaces there is still much to be done. For LGBTQ+ students, colleagues, and families the school environment can pose numerous threats and obstacles. Below are some eye-opening statistics from GLSEN's (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) 2019 National School Climate Report: 86% of LGBTQ+ students were harassed or assaulted at schools; 2 in 5 LGBTQ+ students of color were bullied or harassed based on race or ethnicity; 84% of trans students felt unsafe at school because of their gender. Anti-LGBTQ discrimination means that LGBTQ+ students miss more school, have lower GPAs, and lower self-esteem. This dynamic, interactive professional learning session focuses on building your ally skills, developing welcoming and affirming learning spaces through the use of inclusive and respectful language, terminology, pronouns and discourse, assessing the physical environment for inclusivity, creating inclusive learning opportunities, and knowing where to go for resources and support. Attending this workshop is a proactive step towards creating welcoming and affirming learning spaces. Program participants will receive a Safe Zone sticker and course materials.
