Areas of Focus
Cultivating Educator Resilience
A dive into the evidence-based habits that cultivate resilience specifically for educators. This experiential workshop will provide teachers with practical activities to sustain them throughout the school year.
Trauma-Informed Classroom Community
With the most up-to-date information, science and research, this training will support teachers in creating a trauma-informed classroom community that is safe, enjoyable and conducive to learning for them and their students.
Executive Functioning
Appropriate for new and veteran teachers. This training will review the executive functions as pre-requisites to genuine, deep learning, how to identify gaps and fun ways to fill and build executive functioning in students (and ourselves!)
Stress and School
This learning opportunity will normalize the signs and symptoms of stress and trauma seen in teachers, students, families, and systems while providing strategies at all levels for mitigating the effects of chronic stress.
Bringing It All Together
When teachers learn the same language and strategies that students are practicing in Know & Grow and MPower, everything clicks. PD gives staff the tools to model regulation and resilience, while SEL programs give students the chance to practice them. Together, they build a culture where everyone—adults and kids alike—feels safe, supported, and ready to learn.​​
