2 Credits — Inservice - June 24 — August 15

Some students struggle to manage big emotions—and when they do, learning can take a back seat. This course helps educators uncover the “why” behind emotional dysregulation and respond with practical, easy-to-use strategies that truly make a difference. Explore simple tools like breathing exercises, pressure techniques, fidgets, headphones and other creative supports that help students reset and refocus. Learn how to guide children in naming their feelings, choosing coping tools, and building self-regulation skills they can use at school and beyond. As an alternative to the discussion forums in week 3 & 5 (ONLY), this course offers two optional Google Meet sessions, each approximately 20 minutes long. 1st meet 7/08, 2nd meet 7/29, 3rd meet 8/10 –7:30 PM.
