PESA ACT T4 Chapter Event: Keynote with Tom Brunzell from Berry Street Education

PESA ACT T4 Chapter Event: 

Proactive Positive Education Strategies for Students Struggling with Escalation and Classroom Connection

Join us for a keynote from Dr Tom Brunzell, Director of Berry Street Education Model to discuss Proactive Positive Education Strategies for Students Struggling with Escalation and Classroom Connection

Managing complex behaviours of students of their school communities requires a whole-school positive education approach. Triaging emergencies in our campuses often exhausts our time and attention--and depletes the collective wellbeing of students and staff. In direct response, our new longitudinal research suggests that supporting young people requires a shift in staff mindset to focus on proactive, consistent structures which bolster the systems surrounding and including students. Learn strategies that help staff maintain a proactive lens for understanding behaviour and trauma-informed positive education (TIPE) strategies that increase students’ capacities to set higher expectations for themselves.
