Understanding student dysregulation
When students are "out of control," worked up, shut down, agitated - what's really going on for them? How can we understand student behavior through a non-shaming, strengths-based lens? The concept of "dysregulation" is a way to see behavior through a body- and brain-based lens, and once we understand how dysregulation works we can build supportive environments from our role as teachers.
In this live, interactive workshop, we'll explore:
- What dysregulation is and why we get dysregulated
- What this looks like in the classroom and how dysregulation impacts learning
- The difference between regulation and compliance
- The global context for current patterns of dysregulation (and how trauma comes into the picture)
- How we should think about responding to and preventing dysregulation from our role as teachers
This won't be a "10 quick strategies to calm down your students" kind of workshop. Instead, we'll be talking about how to understand and think about dysregulation, which will empower you to design strategies that will work for you and your students.
My pay-what-you-can workshops are relaxed, interactive, and conversational. We take our learning seriously but we have fun too! See you there.
