Equip Your School, District, or Team with the Professional Development They’ve Been Craving

Get ready for the best professional development experience of your life! No, really! Many attendees have shared that our professional development is the best they’ve ever attended. And that’s not just because the professional development itself is FUN. It’s also that participants turn around and immediately implement these revolutionary tools of co-regulation in their classrooms.

“I have been using almost all of the different things that we learned in your professional development in my classroom. I really have to say, it is making a huge difference. In fact, now the kids are actually asking for it…I am feeling so much calmer because I can see a difference in them.”

Marni, Kindergarten teacher

Learn Why the Maine and New Hampshire Departments of Education Implemented The Regulated Classroom Statewide

We know that post-pandemic educators are still reeling, trying to get students back on track. And we know that more than ever, students are coming into class with insufficient developmental experiences and ACES (Adverse Childhood Experiences), leading to high levels of dysregulation.  For these reasons, the Maine and New Hampshire Departments of Education sponsored statewide programs to equip their educators with an effective framework for increasing regulation in the classroom.  

What if co-regulating with your students resulted in a more peaceful, effective, and FUN classroom?

With The Regulated Classroom professional development, you’ll:

  • Get live or virtual training with the author and creator of The Regulated Classroom, Emily Read Daniels, M.Ed., MBA, NCC, SEP™. 

  • Gain a greater understanding of Polyvagal Theory, the autonomic nervous system, how trauma affects behavior, and how to shift dysregulation with 4 Core Practices.

  • Learn how to implement these micro-moments (one-three minute experiences) to shift the classroom from dysregulation to regulation.

  • Have a plan to take care of yourself and reinvigorate the joy you once experienced in the classroom.

  • Gain a shared language and set of tools for your whole staff to help students have a more resilient nervous system (and build more resiliency yourself).

  • In most cases, you’ll leave with a Guidebook in hand for easy reference and implementation.

We have a variety of professional development options available based on the needs of your school. Please check out the available options and contact us to inquire about scheduling professional development at your school or district!

“It should have come as no surprise to me that your facilitation style matches in brilliance your actual model. Your embodied understanding of Polyvagal and its application in schools is truly unparalleled in my experience. And I've met a lot of people working to apply the model in educational settings!”

Chrissy DAgostino, Independent Educational Consultant
