Singapore, (exact venue to be advised)
Event Tag
“Shanker Self-Reg® is a powerful method for understanding stress and managing tension and energy flow in order to support mindful self-regulation.” The self-reg lens invites a mindset that sees “misbehaviour” as a manifestation of a stress response. Self-reg helps us to identify hidden and overt stressors in ourselves, others and in the children with whom we work and gives us tools to reframe stress, reduce it, reflect on the stress response and finally to find a sense of well-being through restoration and the development of resilience.
Objectives
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- read and reframe stress-behaviour in self and with children
- identify personal stressors and signs of stress behaviour in children
- utilize techniques to reduce, remove or lower stress in learning environments
- apply all 5 steps of the Shanker Method of Self-Reg
- explore strategies to reduce stress for individual learners and for the whole group
- build a personally unique “toolbox” of strategies to support restoration and resilience
