It was fascinating to consider how my own behaviours and responses can impact on students and my colleagues. How I self-regulate is a huge part in co-regulation with students. This course had great examples of what you can do, with lots of tips and tools to use, as well as theory.
Description
Supporting Student Safety, Connection, and Adaptive Behaviour
This practical two-day course is designed for school leaders, teachers, and education support staff who work directly with students experiencing dysregulation in school environments. Grounded in the Attune & Apply student dysregulation support framework, this course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to safely support students in distress and guide them toward emotional regulation and prosocial behaviour.
Developed and refined through implementation in MacKillop’s specialist settings and ReLATE schools across Australia, the framework offers practical, relationship-based approaches for responding to dysregulated behaviour in real time—while building students’ long-term coping capacity.
Throughout the course, participants will explore how to:
Implement Proactive Strategies to Support Student Safety and Engagement
Understand and Respond to Maladaptive Behaviour
Co-Regulate Effectively During Moments of Student Distress
Position Educators and Teams for Success
