PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (for Educators & Clinicians)
Be sure to check out current training opportunities for professional development. Other ideas include:
Identifying and managing Anxiety in kids
Anxiety is at epidemic levels among children and teens and, if not managed effectively, often leads to depression. However, anxiety is one of the most treatable conditions as long as you know what to look for and have the strategies and skills necessary to help kids.
These workshops will help participants:
- Understand the nature of anxiety
- Learn how anxiety shows up and hijacks learning
- How to help kids build the skills they need to tame their worry gremlins
- Learn how to create experiential learning opportunities for kids to overcome anxiety
- Maintain collaboration between parents and school personnel to promote student success
Effective Behaviour Management in the Classroom
Teachers play an important role in helping students engage with their learning environment safely and successfully. However, many teachers lack professional development support in improving classroom management. Behaviour problems tend to increase everyone’s stress levels and limits learning. There are practical, straightforward approaches you can implement in your class to promote prosocial behaviour and academic engagement.
In this workshop, teachers will learn:
- About brain development and how to meet kids at their developmental level
- How behaviour is affected by the environment
- Practical strategies to prevent problem behaviours from happening
- Effective strategies to address and reduce challenging behaviours that do show up
- How to teach students to make positive behavioural choices
Under the radar: Kids struggling silently with ADHD and how to help them succeed
ADHD can be an asset. However, when it is missed, it can interfere with kids’ success at school, as well as with their social and emotional development. When left untreated, kids are vulnerable to developing low self-esteem and other lifelong risks. Identification and intervention are critical for successful functioning in life.
In this workshop, participants will learn:
- What ADHD is, and the importance of diagnosis
- How to identify the silently struggling kids
- How to optimize success for kids with ADHD
