Welcome to the bundle series of the Behavioral Health Program. This bundle will provide vital information on creating regulatory environments that support all students and adults. To get the most out of the bundle, we recommend watching the videos in order module 4, then 5, then 7.
- Module 4: The Classroom is a Nervous System: Working with Daily Regulation and Dysregulation Cycles (1:28)
- Module 5: The Process of Developing Self-regulation: Understanding the Missing Pieces (1:18)
- Module 7: Creating Environments with All Learners in Mind: Ensuring No Student is an Afterthought (1:04)
Time to move from skill-building to cultivating environments that promote individual and collective growth, so each student has the space to flourish.
By utilizing trauma and community responsive approaches coupled with neurotype-responsive practices, we will explore how the design of classroom spaces, daily routines, and relationships can actively promote success for every learner. Participants will engage with frameworks that encourage intentional decision-making, reduce power struggles, and enhance emotional safety.
Together, we will explore class wide frameworks that help students access “doses of regulation” throughout the day, anchoring their learning in self-awareness and self-advocacy. We will explore the question, “What does a regulatory environment look like?” to understand how such an environment feels, functions, and transforms interactions.
Join this deep dive into really understanding what regulation is and isn’t!
Thank you for joining us on the journey of growth and learning!
Happy Learning,
Judy Norman and the SEI Team
