Workshop Description:

This two-day interactive workshop is designed for teachers, administrators, counselors, paraprofessionals, child development advisors, program providers or anyone who works with young people in group settings who want an effective, non-punitive discipline approach that integrates social and emotional learning while reducing challenging behaviours.

• learn how to facilitate effective class/group meetings while teaching social skills and problem-solving.
•  develop a large toolbox of kind and firm discipline methods that foster self regulatory skills and intrinsic motivation

•  and more!
