Program Description:

Supporting learners by strengthening connection to ourselves, our classrooms and our communities.

Teaching has always been relational work, but educators today are navigating increasing complexity, emotional demands and student needs unlike ever before. In this full-day learning experience, Laurie McIntosh weaves together themes of emotional regulation, kindness, trauma-informed practice, identity and connection to support educators in understanding both their learners and themselves.

Participants will explore concepts such as lid flips, co-regulation, helpers high, trauma, grief and belonging while reflecting on the stories that shape who we are in our classrooms. Through storytelling, practical strategies and meaningful reflection, educators will leave feeling affirmed, connected and equipped with relationship-based practices that support learners, colleagues and themselves.

Rooted in compassion, humour and honesty, this day serves as a reminder that connection remains at the heart of learning now more than ever.
