This SEL training will be held ONLINE:
Balancing the ongoing questions of “when do I discipline and when do I give
some grace” is a struggle all education professionals face. With the uptick in
hard behaviors and the stress of the job, sometimes it feels as though nothing is
working. We often set expectations that seem awfully reasonable to us.
However, to many of our youth, they may be out of reach - and/or based on
knowledge they just don't have…yet. If this rings true for you, join award
winning author, Kristin Souers, for a session that walks you through the steps to
how we can approach students that struggle. Jumping into strategy without
intentionally ensuring we have done key things before will guarantee that what
we are doing simply won’t work. In this engaging 60-minute session, learn from
Kristin key things we must address in order for an intervention to work.

This SEL training will be held ONLINE:
Collaboration, connection and common language are all essential components of
having a positive education experience. As education professionals, the more we
speak the same language, the more likely we will be effective in our practices. In
this engaging, relevant, and practical introductory session, learn from trauma
expert and award-winning author, Kristin Souers key terms that all education
professionals must know, incorporate and model in their practice.
Objectives:
• Attendees will be introduced to key terms associated with Trauma Invested
Practices
• Attendees will be invited to engage in reflective practice centered around
their role as education professionals.

This SEL training will be held ONLINE:

Chronic absenteeism is a HUGE concern in education and while we are seeing
some progress, we still have a long way to go. Currently over 26% of our
students are considered chronically absent. This affects us all. If we can’t get
them through our doors, learning is significantly compromised. Join award
winning author, Kristin Souers as she walks us through the key contributors to
lack of attendance and talks us through the four I’s of approaching attendance;
Trauma Inducing; Trauma Indifferent; Trauma Informed and Trauma Invested.

This SEL training will be held ONLINE:

Childhood trauma is real, and it is more prevalent than we might
believe, especially now. In this engaging, relevant, and practical
session, learn from childhood trauma expert Kristin Souers about the
importance of incorporating trauma-invested practices into the work
we do with each other, caregivers and our youth. Behavior is a form
of communication, and all behavior is an expression of a need. Let’s
work together in shifting our mindsets away from “why are you
doing that?” to “What are you needing right now?” We will identify
and explore what those needs are and provide staff the opportunity
to reflect on how best to meet the needs of those they serve and
interact with. In this engaging training, staff will be introduced to
strategies designed to meet those needs.

This SEL training will be held ONLINE:

Now more than ever we are seeing education professionals struggle, make
choices that contribute to the problem and avoid addressing the key things that
are getting in the way of success. We must be willing to have hard conversations
with each other and hold each other accountable to a standard that supports not
only the success of our students but of each other. This is not easy to do and we
must begin to have these conversations. If this rings true for you, join award
winning author, Kristin Souers, for a session that walks you through the steps to
how we can approach hard conversations. Jumping into conversation without
intentionally ensuring we have done key things before will guarantee that what
we are doing simply won’t work. In this engaging 60-minute session, learn from
Kristin key things we must do when having a hard conversation.
