In this interactive session, educators will explore the core philosophy of Jane Nelsen’s Positive Discipline. Moving
beyond traditional rewards and punishments, participants will engage in hands-on activities designed to foster a deep sense of
belonging and significance for every student. Educators will leave with a "toolbox" of ready-to-use strategies that turn daily classroom challenges into opportunities for character building and community growth.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Build a Culture of Belonging: Practice specific experiential activities, such as "Connection Before Correction," that strengthen the teacher-student bond and improve classroom climate.
- Foster Executive Functioning through Routine: Discover how to implement visual schedules and "Wheels of Choice" to support self-regulation and independence in primary-aged learners.
- Shift from Consequences to Solutions: Learn how to facilitate "Joint Problem Solving" and use "Curiosity Questions" to help students take ownership of their choices.
- Implement Immediate Tools: Master at least three "Monday-ready" tools, such as the "Positive Time-Out" or "Class Meetings," to address social and behavioural challenges effectively.
