Healing Classrooms: An Educators Social/Emotional Blueprint for Changing the Climate + Culture of Educating Youth
This workshop challenges participants to think differently about how to cultivate a healing culture in the classroom setting. The classroom is a place where our students and teachers are in community with each other. However, the disconnect between what we need to be mentally healthy and what our students are dealing with before they come to school provides a challenge for creating relationships and excelling academics.
Educators are not therapist but they can help create healing spaces. Educators will develop a foundation for the science of relationships and how it impacts the classroom setting.
Educators will be provided with strategies and tools to help with creating healing classrooms.
Educators will be able to incorporate the learned strategies, tools and interventions in their classrooms (i.e, natural elements, stimulation opportunities, and individualization but with connection activities).
Educators will also walk away with the understanding that every relationship matters and all students should be assisted in creating meaningful relationships.
Educators will leave with the understanding that the most important healing experiences for children who have been trauma-impacted does not occur in therapy but in spaces of community where they can learn to trust, gain confidence, rebuild safety and the desire to care for others.
