During this three day series, participants will:

• explore how to recognize and respond to three internal states that dictate the ability of adults and children to connect, learn, and problem-solve.
• discover how to recognize and respond to adults and children operating from a Survival State by increasing a felt sense of safety to help them access higher brain states.
• learn how to model the skills of encouragement, choices and empathy to create a connected, compassionate culture for learning where caring, kindness and contribution are the norm.
• apply the skills of positive intent and consequences in ways that encourage healthy self-regulation, yielding the ability to control impulses, solve conflicts and regulate emotions.

Participants will receive a course workbook, a copy of Conscious Discipline: Building Resilient Classrooms, and additional hands-on tools to support implementation. Personalized follow-up modeling and coaching from the SST2 Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant as well as monthly virtual office hours will also be available.

This three day training is designed for Preschool teams who are interested in enhancing social/emotional skills in both adults and children. Teams MUST include all teachers and paraprofessionals. Building administrators and related service providers are also encouraged to attend with their team. Participants MUST attend all three days. (Please note that itinerant teachers who work with multiple programs may attend individually.)

This training is Ohio Approved. Participants will receive 24 Ohio Approved professional development hours upon completion of all training dates.
