DRUMCONDRA EDUCATION CENTRE CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
SUMMER 2020 “Keep cool when the heat is on” self-care and mindfulness strategies for you and your pupils The aim of this course ‘keep cool when the heat is on’ is to enable teachers to develop and share activities, approaches and learning modes that foster a cooperative settled classroom.
The format will be: • Gaining knowledge and understanding about the importance of social emotional learning (SEL) and how to incorporate these skills into the daily curriculum • Learning about the basis for a ‘trauma informed’ classroom- managing challenging behaviour • Generating materials and sharing ideas in small breakout groups • Creating a physical portfolio and materials for activities; we will use card, colours, paint glue etcaccording to the activity. • Creating a digital record of the article and ideas • Exploring multi-media approaches to SEL
We will be sharing knowledge and experience and developing a portfolio of skills and activities to use in class in September. There will be video presentations, articles to read and discussions in breakout groups. I will make every effort to maintain the supportive, interactive group that has made this course so successful in the past four years. It will be interactive and enjoyable!
