SCSBC Special Education and Learning Assistance eBulletin Nov. 7, 2017 K-12 Institute: Reframing Schools as Self-Reg Havens (Victoria) Presenter: Dr. Stuart Shanker (Author of ) A Self-Reg Haven is somewhere where everyone feels emotionally, socially, culturally and physically safe and secure.

Research shows that a safe environment improves student learning and well-being. Safe environments promote the engagement of the child’s “learning brain”, suppressing their “survival brain” which causes the areas of the brain which support learning, such as the prefrontal cortex, to go offline. This workshop will focus on how we can create Self-Reg Havens, educational environments which promote self-regulation for students and educators, calming their “survival brains”. Topics covered will include: • The proliferation of stress in modern life and its impact on student’s behaviour, mood, learning and physical well-being • Rethinking the meaning of “safe” • The impact of stress and the stress response system on students’ feelings of safety • The signs that a child or youth is not feeling safe • The connection between safety and prosocial behaviour, including empathy • The importance of relationships and community • Internalizing and externalizing behaviours and the nature of explosive behaviour • Shanker Self-Reg® and The Shanker Method® and how Dr. Shanker’s approach can help adults understand and mitigate the stressors that underlie explosive behaviour • Using the five steps of Shanker Self-Reg with regard to all aspects of environment, practice, supports and relationships • Fostering relationships that help people feel safe • How to support staff to navigate and negotiate the theory and practice of Self-Reg Date: Wednesday, November 15, 2017 - 8:30 am - 4:00 pm Location: Michele Puol Room - University of Victoria, Student Union Bldg.

Stuart Shanker The better children can self-regulate, the better they can rise to the challenge of mastering ever more complex skills and concepts. But what exactly is self-regulation, how does it develop, why do some children and teens struggle with it more than others, and what can we do to enhance its development? Shanker Self-Reg® is a powerful method for understanding stress and managing tension and energy. Sophos Utm Rapidshare Search.
