Nurturing Social & Emotional Development to Build Resilience For School Staff

Connective Discipline

Connective Discipline challenges many of the traditional views on discipline and fear-based compliance. It looks at behaviour through the lens of recent neuroscience which lends to understanding behaviour as communication of a need and highlights the value of our own intuition as school staff. Now that we understand the causes of behaviour, lets equip staff with trauma informed approaches to dealing with challenging behaviour.
IN THIS SESSION, YOU'LL LEARN:

1

Regulate, Relate, Reason- this is talked about a lot in school settings, but what does it look like in a busy classroom

2

Learn about Setting Boundaries: Connective Discipline emphasises the importance of setting firm but kind boundaries and understanding when and how to do so.
