Course Description
This highly engaging, research-rich PD course underscores a fundamental truth often overlooked in day-to-day classroom management: Education is a people business! Packed with expert insight and enlightening multimedia content, this class will instill in participants a newfound awareness of the ways in which building strong, healthy connections with students is not just supplemental to their curriculum, it’s at the core of what they need from educators. Moreover, participants will learn that a secure, trusting relationship between teacher and student is at the heart of of positive discipline, and the foundation for a safe, harmonious, productive classroom.
The many strategies participants will explore include: practicing self-compassion and mindfulness, using positive language and reinforcement, the neuroscientific approach to emotional intelligence and making learning fun, shortcuts to establishing trust and mutual respect, building rapport and finding common ground, and designing a prosocial classroom. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will have all the tools and knowledge they need to enhance their job satisfaction while boosting student achievement through the power of positive relationships.
