Course description
This session will consider a more in depth understanding of how teachers (and other staff) can develop and implement an environment of safety, engagement and learning in the classroom. It will define the theory of physiological regulation and related concepts such as dysregulation and co-regulation and will outline a framework for understanding and responding to young people.
This session is aimed at teachers and teacher assistants but will also be valuable for professional support staff, school leaders and inclusive practice coaches.
Numbers for this session are limited.
It builds on the core session “Informed, Aware and Responsive: Making SPACE for Learning in Tasmanian Schools” and it is recommended that participants have completed the core session.
Course outcomes
The ability to build your own capacity for self-regulation as well as how you
can support students to stay regulated using routines, co-regulation, and sensory experiences. The session will also explore the concepts of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue and your own wellbeing.
