Ready Minds: Reaching The Learning Brain
This transformative workshop is designed exclusively for teachers who want to make a real difference in the classroom. By adapting Dr. Bruce Perry’s renowned framework for helping children learn, think, and reflect, you'll discover how to effectively support every child, especially those facing challenges.
Dr. Perry’s model highlights a sequential process: Regulate, Relate, and Reason. However, I advocate for a compassionate twist: replacing “regulate” with “soothe.” This shift underscores the importance of gently calming children’s emotional responses, rather than merely controlling them, setting the stage for better learning outcomes.
In this workshop, you will learn:
Why stressed children struggle: Understand how fight/flight/freeze responses impede learning and retention.
Practical intervention strategies: Master my Soothe, Support, Strategize approach to help children transition into a calm and focused state.
Tools for everyday practice: Gain practical techniques that you can seamlessly integrate into your daily teaching, creating a nurturing and inclusive classroom environment.
Workshop Benefits:
Deep Insight: Grasp how stress and trauma impact a child’s learning and behaviour.
Empowerment: Implement actionable strategies to soothe and support every child.
Practical Application: Equip yourself with tools that make a real difference both at school and at home.
Inclusive Growth: Foster a classroom culture that builds resilience, emotional growth, and a sense of belonging for all students.
Join me to create a classroom where every child feels understood, supported, and ready to thrive.
