1) The NRF: Assessment to Intervention

 

An introduction to the NeuroRelational Framework, this workshop compares the NRF with conventional responses to behavior that promote the intersectionality of bias, walks through the 3-step process of assessment to intervention, and gives participants practice in creating their own NRF interventions for behavior issues.

​

2) From Co-Regulation to Self Reflection

 

Co-regulating with children leads to self-regulation; co-reflecting with children leads to self-reflection. Learn tools that regulate both adults and children simultaneously, and build skills in reflective, collaborative problem solving. 

​

3) Assessing Arousal States

​

Learn about the difference between toxic and adaptive stress, how inequity promotes toxic stress, and how to adjust learning experiences to promote adaptive stress.

​

4) Soothing the SensorY System

​

A workshop dedicated to the brain's Sensory System, learn how the 7 senses cue the brain for threat or safety, how to spot sensory vulnerabilities in a school environment, and increase sensory safety cues throughout the school day.

​

5) Trauma Informed Teaching

​

A workshop dedicated to the brain's Relevance System, learn conditions that trigger trauma responses in children, and how to approach behavior with curiosity, connection, and limits simultaneously.​

​

6) Executive Functionality: Sparking the Cortex

​

A workshop dedicated to the brain's Executive System, learn how to move children from lower to higher-level brain functions, promoting regulated and reflective kids.

​

7) The NRF: Putting it Together

 

Practice the NRF's three steps of assessing arousal states, levels of engagement and brain system strengths and vulnerabilities with specific cases.

​

8) Reflective consultation with parents & Peers

 

Build skills in reflective consultation on students with colleagues using the NRF as a guide.
