The Playful Path to Self-Regulation: Facilitate Intentional Play in Your Classroom
This workshop is designed to give you a deeper understanding of self-regulation and how it can be intentionally developed in your classroom. In this workshop, participants will gain valuable insight into the kind of play that has the most developmental potential to develop self-regulation, learn how to differentiate the kind of play that develops self-regulation from the kind that doesn't, and learn how to propel the development of intentional play to engage every child in their classroom, so that each child develops the foundation of self-regulation for school and life success.
Understanding Challenging Behaviors Through the Lens of Self-Regulation
This workshop will focus on challenging behaviors in the classroom and what you can do about them. By understanding children's behavior through the lens of self-regulation, Tools provides an empowering perspective for responding to behaviors.
We will help you implement routines to manage challenging behaviors and give you a toolbox of powerful strategies to address these behaviors when they occur. Participants will discover how common behavior challenges can be reduced as greater self-regulation is gradually developed through concrete approaches.
