There’s Magic in Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing,
and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness practices can help
us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression. During this
session, participants will learn how to access macro/mezzo/micro-opportunities for mindfulness and
create a plan for increasing positivity and mindful practices.

This 6-session series is intentionally designed to first build a strong foundation and then progressively add skills through interactive activities. Each week, participants will have meaningful opportunities to apply these skills in the classroom and return to discuss questions and any barriers to learning.
August 7: From Reaction to Response: Understanding the Brain Behind Behavior
In the first session, participants will gain a practical understanding of neuroscience that breaks the behavior code and develops an adult first mindset approach to challenging behaviors. Topics will include brain states, composure and creating spaces where children feel safe.
August 21: Practicing Presence: Attention, Intent, and Assertiveness in Action
Session two will build on this information and focus on the skills of attention, positive intent and assertiveness. Participants will leave with practical tools for the classroom.
September 4: Behavior by Design: The Impact of Visual Routines
Session three is all about visuals from basic classroom routines to behavior supports and social stories, participants will learn practical ways to use visuals to support learning and prevent and manage difficult behaviors in the classroom.
September 18: Connection Leads to Compliance
In session four, participants will dive into the power of creating meaningful connections and leave with fresh ideas to implement. We will also introduce the power of leading with empathy in all interactions.
October 2: Confident Responses to Big Emotions and Difficult Behaviors
The first 4 sessions lay the foundation for creating consistent, predictable environments in which children feel safe, seen and valued, but young children have big emotions. In session 5 we will add to our toolbox with practical principles and tools to use when challenging behaviors come. Session five we cover teaching moments, choices, consequences, and how to combat tattling. We will use real examples with real language to create teachers who are confident in the face of big emotions.
October 16:Tackling the Tough Ones
Session 6 we will put it all together and tackle difficult temperaments, biting, and noncompliance.

Are You Sharing Lollipops?
Take a moment to pause and reflect: Who has impacted your life by simply saying or doing something?
How have you impacted others in this way? This session will introduce the idea that we may not realize
the power of our own words and actions in everyday moments, how they positively shape another
person's life. Discussion will focus on the idea of moments that are eye-opening and transformative,
and participants will identify how to create, acknowledge, and pay forward these "lollipops" that
encourage the heart.

Psychological First Aid for Schools (PFA-S) is an evidence-based model designed to help students, families, and school staff cope with the immediate aftermath of emergencies. It aims to reduce distress and promote both short- and long-term coping and functioning. PFA-S is based on five core principles: evidence-based practices, respect for school culture and behavior, practicality in field settings, developmental appropriateness, and cultural flexibility. By addressing a range of physical, cognitive, and emotional reactions, PFA-S provides supportive interventions that can prevent the development of more severe mental health issues and connect individuals to further services if needed.
This is an in person only event.
FREE for those within ESU 7. Those outside of ESU 7 will be charged a $50 materials fee.
Lunch will be one hour off-campus, on your own.
