Topics
Reverse the Adverse (Workshop)
This workshop is for educators in urban districts who struggle to motivate students to learn, lose instruction time due to problem behaviors, and want to improve student/teacher relationships which ultimately improves student performance, teacher satisfaction and overall morale. Nicole provides a space for educators to reflect on their own personal bias, and how it may interfere with the entire learning process. She also teaches about trauma, how it manifests in school, and provides a practical proven approach that uses functional strategies to transform classrooms from places of discipline to that of learning and thriving. Lastly, educators are given a step-by-step approach to develop a healthy daily self-care routine to prevent overwhelm and burnout. Given such, educators can effectively educate, engage, empower, and instill hope in vulnerable students, thus changing projected negative outcomes.
