The Phoenix Cups 101 & Wellbeing Challenge
A short online course for anyone who wants to understand what motivates people, starting with themselves. Learn the five Cups, work out what fills yours, and build your own wellbeing plan. You do not need to be an educator, and you do not need to have read the book.
Are you an educator?
The next two sections are for you.
Where do I start?
If you are an educator and new to the Phoenix Cups, start with the 101 above, then follow this order. Each one builds on the last, and each one stands on its own if you only have time for one.
1
Educator Toolkit for Behaviour
Interested in children's behaviour? Start here. There are many more advanced courses after this one, and this is the foundation they all assume.
2
The Children's Behaviour Masterclass
With Dr Louise Porter and me. A deeper look at the guidance approach and what it asks of us as educators.
3
Resilient Beginnings
Recorded from our two-day Masterclass with Louise. Executive function, self-regulation and emotional development through a needs-based lens.
Read
A few articles from the blog that I keep sending people back to. All free, all mine.
From Behaviour 'Management' to Fostering Wellbeing
Where the Phoenix Cups came from, and why behaviour management had to go. If you read one, read this.
Teaching, Not Training
Why your child's educators don't use sticker charts, gold stars or reward systems. Written for families, useful for teams.
Connection Seeking: Reframing Attention Seeking
One word changes how you respond to the child who needs you most.
Say What You See, Ask a Question
A six-year-old on a hot basketball court, and the language strategy he taught me.
Biting Happens in the Early Years, and When It Does, It's Useful Information
Five needs behind a bite, and Jack, who stopped biting in two days once we found his Cup.
Strong Foundations: Neuroscience and Emotional Development in the Early Years
Why emojis and flashcards cannot teach emotions, and what affective neuroscience suggests instead.
Flow Pedagogy
Slowing down with purpose. Designing for deep involvement instead of programming activity after activity.
Are you in an educational leadership position?
Join me for live sessions and a whole term of Community of Practice in our leadership program, the Strong Leaders Community of Practice. Bring your team, bring the problems you are carrying, and leave each session with one question and one action.
