Creating a village

Empathic, inclusive, and more caring learning communities are within our reach. But we cannot do this alone. We need to bring back the village. How can we intentionally harness the power of attachment to grow a child’s community? What practices can we introduce that can expand our own network of support?  We will examine Neufeld’s attachment rituals of collecting, bridging and matchmaking and explore strategies that can build community and transform our school cultures.

Reclaiming our Students: Professional Development Series

This educational series will expand the definition of safe schools and provide insights and relationship-based strategies for how we can shift students and classrooms. We will explore the vital role of emotional safety, shed light on what is behind some of the challenging behaviours we see in our classrooms, and look to practices that can help us restore and awaken caring feelings in our students
