CONSCIOUS DISCIPLINE

Conscious Discipline is a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach to self-regulation, wellness and classroom management. It guides adults in living, modeling and teaching the skills they want to instill in children. Everyday conflicts and challenges become the curriculum by which adults teach lifelong skills like self-regulation, assertiveness and empathy so every child can reach their fullest potential. 

Conscious Discipline is based on brain research and developmentally appropriate practices. All aspects of Conscious Discipline focus on creating a safe environment for children to learn and practice the skills needed for healthy social, emotional and academic development. 

Conscious Discipline helps adults and children become aware of their inner states, their actions and the consequences of their choices. Adults learn to change their relationship with conflict, self-regulate during difficult encounters and recognize children's brain states in order to better meet their needs. This upgraded skillset empowers them to create a cooperative, compassionate School Family™ and use everyday classroom challenges as teaching moments. 

Conscious Discipline provides information and inspiration that transforms traditional schools into compassionate School Families, fatigued staff members into impassioned educators, troubled children into caring class members, and all students into eager learners. 

THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT IS FEBRUARY 1, 2024

The Literacy Improvement Pathway is a series of professional development sessions focused on the who, what, when, why, and how to build and improve school culture surrounding literacy. Each session builds on research and best-practice principles to support school administrators, teacher leaders, and school improvement teams in closing achievement gaps in literacy.

Presented by Dr. Brandie Bohney and Dr. Linda Uveges, this series is free for client-building-level teams and $250 for non-client-building-level teams for the entire series.

*A la carte sessions are not available.

As an addition to the Literacy Pathway Sessions we will be offering afternoon “deep dives” that allow administrators and teacher teams time to dive into the information shared in the morning session or a previous session. Please plan to attend all five sessions and learn more about what the research says and become empowered to implement best practices within your building and district.

SESSION 4

Deep Dive 4: Quality of Instruction

This deep dive delves into explicit instruction within a strong MTSS framework with some additional conversation focused on academic teacher talk. Each participant will come away with practical strategies for differentiation, making literacy processes explicit, and using classroom teacher talk effectively.

SESSION 5

Deep Dive 5: Instructional Materials

Addressing the specific needs of countless learners doesn’t have to be overwhelming and unsustainable! In her dynamic new book, Andi McNair guides readers through a fresh mindset and process for designing meaningful experiences that leave learners engaged, empowered, and motivated to move from surface-level learning to deep understanding. Chapters cover topics such as project-based learning, authentic engagement, supporting and encouraging learners in the classroom and beyond, and the many ways to provide depth.

This book study addresses the following gifted competencies:

• The ability to differentiate instruction based on a student’s readiness, knowledge and skill level, including using accelerated content, complexity, depth challenge, creativity and abstractness;
• The ability to select, adapt or create a variety of differentiated curricula that incorporate advanced, conceptually challenging, in-depth, distinctive and complex content;

Participants will read the assigned readings and supplemental materials each week and post a thoughtful response. They will then reply to at least 2 colleagues' responses. Participants are also encouraged to implement new experiences in their classrooms and discuss the learners' experiences.

Upon completion, the participants will be better prepared to design meaningful experiences in their classroom with depth for their learners. This book study will give readers a fresh mindset to engage, empower, and motivate their learners.

The Heartsaver Pediatric First Aid CPR AED course trains participants how to respond to and manage illnesses and injuries in a child or infant in the first few minutes until professional help arrives. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) and the 2015 AHA/Red Cross Guidelines for First Aid.
