COMPLEX BEHAVIOUR : Simple Interventions…for the classroom

A one-day workshop unpacking the neuroscience around complex behaviour.
Across Aotearoa, there are a growing number of children who display increasingly complex behaviours.  This can get overwhelming for those working in any profession where there is interaction with children and youth. Within schools, the issue is amplified due to the amount of contact time you have.  This means those of you working in schools can have an increased impact, but conversely, you can feel more overwhelmed. For some of our children, they have such complex needs, it is incredibly difficult to know where to begin…This one-day workshop will begin by unpacking the neuroscience of trauma.

ALIVE & WELL: Developing a Learning Eco-system Rich in Wellbeing – Tony Ryan

Feeling tired lately? If you are, then you’re hardly alone. In part due to global upheavals, teachers and school leaders are working longer hours in the midst of increasingly complex issues. Continuing on this pathway will be detrimental to both personal and professional welfare. So, can anything be done about this?

This workshop will practically address how to generate a culture of wellness that is sustainable and productive. You will be offered a powerful range of personal, classroom and staffroom strategies that focus on empathy, enjoyment, energy and emotional resilience… as well as some special processes for ensuring the psychological welfare of all school community members. And especially… this session will help you to feel pride and deep belief in the most important profession on the planet – teaching.

ENGAGE YOUR BRAIN with Nathan Wallis

This talk focuses on the social/emotional aspects of your brain development – how feeling impacts our thinking. While the times that this brain really has the steering wheel is 2-8yrs and again in the middle of adolescence, it is relevant to all learners who want to feel engaged, enthusiastic and passionate about what they do.
Creativity largely comes online, between the ages of two and seven, in a free-play, child-lead environment. It’s development is inhibited if we focus instead on seven year old formalised literacy and numeracy.
This talk supports the research behind play based learning. Learning is so much easier when the learner is engaged. Come along and learn how to engage your brain.

CHANGE YOUR BRAIN- CHANGE YOUR LIFE with Nathan Wallis

‘Change Your Brain – Change Your Life!’ takes a broader perspective than Nathan’s previous talks. This new discussion explores the inherent ability in everyone’s brain to be able to change the ‘wiring’ of their brain and thereby improve their level of happiness, well-being and overall quality of life.

Nathan’s message is that we are not subject to the biology dictated by the brain, but rather, it’s actually an interactive process – the biology of the brain is also dictated by our thoughts and actions. Or alternatively, our brains are voice activated and we are far more in control of our brains than we realise.
This talk will update you (in Nathan’s usual plain, direct, ‘southern-man style’ kind of way!) on Neuroplasticity – or the brains ability to change itself – and how to do this.

TRAUMA INFORMED TRAINING

Seminar will cover:
• What impact can early trauma have on behaviour of children / adolescents?
• How the brain connects/learns. The impact this has on the behaviour we see and how we can effect change.
• What elements we need to create in the environment to increase likelihood of behaviour change?
• How we can evaluate and notice true behaviour change?

This workshop will cover how trauma can impact the development of the brain. Understanding what contributes to behaviour development is the most important and influential path to being able to change behaviour.
