The Brain and Behaviour Toolkit for Primary and Secondary Schools
In the post pandemic classroom, most schools have noticed a significant increase in dysregulated behaviour in students. Often this requires behaviour management techniques which interrupt essential learning time in the classroom. The Brain and Behaviour Toolkit provides a comprehensive, evidenced based framework to understand, support and address these challenges in our students that effect learning and behaviour. This evidenced based training is the foundation of your work toward becoming a Trauma Smart Educator and building a Trauma Smart School.
This is the first educator workshop in the Trauma Smart School series. Understand the why behaviour as you explore essential neuroscience, child development, trauma and toxic stress effects and the power of interpersonal neurobiology for the classroom. This is a 2 hour pre-recorded workshop PLUS practical learning activities and reflection exercises. The workshop also includes downloadable slides for you to use as you follow along, and a ready-to-use printables section.
Presented by Australian Education Awards Teacher of the Year (2019), and behaviour support expert, Tony Vallance and clinical play therapist, child and family specialist and consultant, Sian Chambers-Vallance.
