• Full Details: Regulate to Educate: Self‑Regulation and Student Regulation Strategies for a Successful School Year

This course is a two-day immersive professional learning experience designed to equip educators with the personal and practical tools needed to create thriving classroom environments. Each day begins with intentional time dedicated to teacher regulation through guided yoga movement, breathwork, reflective practice, and a restorative sound bowl experience—a regulated classroom has to start with a regulated and supported educator first! This experience will allow educators to reset, refocus, and reconnect with their purpose. Building from this foundation of personal regulation, we will then move to exploring what a regulated classroom looks like- exploring research-based classroom management, classroom design, and ways to incorporate different engagement and regulation strategies to foster student engagement and consistent routines. We want to give educators a voice in this class, so please expect to receive an email before the course asking for feedback on any “hot topics” that cause dysregulation among teachers, paraprofessionals, and staff. Participants will also engage in collaborative planning on how to obtain any extra resources needed for a great year, and also explore how AI can help add to the overwhelming teacher workload.

Put on some comfy clothes and come on over to the Fort for some rest, regulation, and positive learning!
