Emotional Regulation and Early Childhood Learning
Tuesday 5 May, 4-5pm This session is designed to support teachers to strengthen their classroom management skills. The focus is on setting clear expectations and creating effective teacher-student relationships. Despite a teacher’s best intentions students often choose behaviours that make the classroom unsettled and reduce the time focused on learning. This session will focus on a toolkit of things to think, say and do to address these behaviours firmly and fairly, so that relationships are maintained and expectations reinforced.
Wednesday 27 May, 6-7pm Young children learning how to regulate their emotions, with self-regulation and impulse control, is important for all learning. Adults can overestimate the emotional skills of young children, so a better understanding of self-regulation provides insight into children’s learning and behaviour, especially in relation to the impact of trauma.

Literacy in the Classroom-Strategies to Support Struggling Readers
