SUMMARY:Elevating Your Leadership Through Uncomfortable Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is a natural part of school life. Students\, families\, teachers\, administrators\, and community members all bring strong emotions and perspectives - and when stress is high\, even small concerns can quickly intensify. The difference between effective teachers and staff and those who feel overwhelmed isn’t the absence of conflict - it’s the ability to navigate it with skill\, confidence\, and consistency. &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;This engaging\, practical session is designed for school counselors and social workers who want to address conflict directly - without avoiding it\, escalating it\, or carrying it home at the end of the day. Participants will learn a clear\, repeatable framework for handling difficult conversations in ways that preserve relationships\, maintain professional boundaries\, and keep the focus on what matters most: student well-being and success.

SUMMARY:TBRI - Attachment for Education
DESCRIPTION:Children’s socioemotional well-being is the foundation of their school success\, and attachment is at the core of that foundation. This workshop will explore how early attachment experiences create a “blueprint” for relationships and how those patterns show up in the classroom. Educators will also consider how their own attachment style interacts with students’ styles - and how this awareness can lead to more effective\, compassionate\, and empowering responses to challenging behavior.

SUMMARY:Kindergarten Thinking Strategies and Assessment Strategies: iPad\, Anchor Charts\, and Hand Motions!
DESCRIPTION:I’d love to share a handy tech tip—using an iPad as a mobile document camera—so students can easily display and talk through their thinking without bringing manipulatives to the front. I’ll also walk you through Kindergarten proficiency scales and thinking strategies\, plus primary-friendly anchor charts and simple hand motions to help students remember them. I can show how to weave these strategies across standards (not just in reading)—for example\, using monitor-for-meaning/determine-importance in word problems or applying synthesizing strategies to shapes.

SUMMARY:Beyond Self-Care: Understanding and Completing the Stress Response Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Many educators are familiar with traditional self-care recommendations such as taking a bubble bath\, scheduling a massage\, or planning a relaxing weekend. While these activities may be enjoyable\, they often feel unrealistic for busy school staff who are balancing demanding workloads\, family responsibilities\, and limited time and resources.\n\nThis training takes a different approach. Rather than focusing on self-care as an activity\, it focuses on understanding the body's physiological response to stress. Participants learn about the stress response cycle\, how emotions are processed in the brain and body\, and why stress can remain "stuck" even after a stressful event has ended.\n\nGrounded in neuroscience and practical application\, this training provides simple\, evidence-informed strategies that can be used in real time throughout the school day. Participants will learn brief interventions that can be completed in as little as 20 seconds between classes\, during planning periods\, or throughout the workday to help regulate the nervous system\, reduce stress\, and improve overall well-being.\n\nThe goal is not to add another task to educators' already full plates. Instead\, it is to equip staff with practical tools that work with the realities of school life\, helping them better understand their stress responses and develop sustainable habits that support both personal wellness and professional effectiveness.\n\n\n

DESCRIPTION:I’d love to share a handy tech tip—using an iPad as a mobile document camera—so students can easily display and talk through their thinking without bringing manipulatives to the front. I’ll also walk you through Kindergarten proficiency scales and thinking strategies\, plus primary-friendly anchor charts and simple hand motions to help students remember them. I can show how to weave these strategies across standards (not just in reading)—for example\, using monitor-for-meaning/determine-importance in word problems or applying synthesizing strategies to shapes.

SUMMARY:Beyond Self-Care: Understanding and Completing the Stress Response Cycle
DESCRIPTION:Many educators are familiar with traditional self-care recommendations such as taking a bubble bath\, scheduling a massage\, or planning a relaxing weekend. While these activities may be enjoyable\, they often feel unrealistic for busy school staff who are balancing demanding workloads\, family responsibilities\, and limited time and resources.\n\nThis training takes a different approach. Rather than focusing on self-care as an activity\, it focuses on understanding the body's physiological response to stress. Participants learn about the stress response cycle\, how emotions are processed in the brain and body\, and why stress can remain "stuck" even after a stressful event has ended.\n\nGrounded in neuroscience and practical application\, this training provides simple\, evidence-informed strategies that can be used in real time throughout the school day. Participants will learn brief interventions that can be completed in as little as 20 seconds between classes\, during planning periods\, or throughout the workday to help regulate the nervous system\, reduce stress\, and improve overall well-being.\n\nThe goal is not to add another task to educators' already full plates. Instead\, it is to equip staff with practical tools that work with the realities of school life\, helping them better understand their stress responses and develop sustainable habits that support both personal wellness and professional effectiveness.\n\n\n
