Overview
The vision of any school likely commits to serving “all kids.” But the reality of our current climate of distraction, disruption and marginalization often prohibits the realization of this vision. This on-site training examines the biology of pre-adolescent and adolescent brains, the latest research behind Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the Trauma-Impacted Learner – as well as the biases and prejudices that hinder our ability to work better together.
Dr. Tom Maglisceau, who has served as a teacher, coach, principal and now superintendent in the Dallas area, will help attendees develop a path forward for building resilience. He will also provide high-yield strategies for building the culture, systems and leadership necessary to enhance relational capacity and resilience in our kids – both in individual classrooms and schoolwide.
Learning Objectives
- Updating our latest understanding of pre-adolescent and adolescent brain development – especially as it relates to: Learning, Motivation, and “Grit”
- Examine the disruption of marginalization and whether “all” really means all
- Understand the impact of social media and social contagion on our communities
- Discover the three key components of a restorative response
- Explore how to build classroom and school-wide systems of support to generate positive social capital – creating bonds and bridging differences
- Develop the “Better Together” mindset
