Session 1: Educator Wellbeing

Chris will provide the perfect combination of education and entertainment all rolled into one interactive and fun workshop.

You can expect laughs, games, hypnosis (yep, we said it), philosophy, as well as a proven formula for wellbeing that will not only help you on your own happiness journey, but will help you interact with your colleagues and peers, as you will be able to identify their needs as well!

Find out how balanced mental health and wellbeing can be accomplished through mindful decision making and tactical planning to identify and meet your basic life needs.

Session 2: Educator Toolkit for Behaviour

Learn new ways of thinking about, responding to, and planning for children's behaviour.

In this workshop you will explore:

• connected relationships with children.
• interpreting behavioural indicators as manifestations of unmet needs.
• respond thoughtfully to the complexity and ever-evolving nature of a child's social and behavioural learning journey.
• Learn a shared language around a model of human needs.

You will leave this day with a comprehensive knowledge about what motivates children's behaviour, and a framework to develop strategies to respond to behaviour that can be immediately implemented in to your program.
