The focus of this learning network is for participants to deepen their understanding of regulation, as well as key concepts and strategies used to address the regulation needs of students in the classroom. In the last session on March 3rd, educators were provided with the opportunity to work with colleagues through sample classroom profiles from our division. The growth of educators was reflected in their ability to conceptualize why a student may be having challenges and identify interventions that included language, tools, and visuals that could be infuse within the classroom environment to meet the regulation needs of students.  Educators will have an opportunity to learn additional strategies at the next session being held on April 21st.

Pictured below are educators working through regulation toolboxes to explore ways to infuse regulation within curriculum.

This network focused on fostering student resiliency and the Circle of Courage, where counselors had the opportunity to explore and create their own assessments based on the needs identified in their schools. Counselors were also provided with knowledge on how trauma can impact the learning brain, and how educators can create a sense of community through autonomy, resiliency, and empathy. These networks continue to support the individual, group, and classroom work that school counselors provide to our students. By expanding their skills and teaching them different strategies and approaches, students will learn the importance of discovering their own self-awareness and wellness.
