Overview
Teachers are expected to frequently calm dysregulated students — often without foundational knowledge of how to regulate themselves during ongoing stress.
This workshop invites educators to develop practical skills in self-awareness, learning to identify their own nervous system states and respond with empowered regulation. Grounded in neuroscience and compassionate practice, we’ll explore how teacher wellbeing directly shapes classroom tone, relational safety, and student engagement. Participants will leave with strategies that support not just the teacher role — but the whole human being behind it.
