Learning Events Registrations
Are you supporting a student or multiple students with behaviors that interfere with their learning or the learning of others? Do you find it challenging to teach Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies when the SEL expectations don’t match how your student(s) show up? If you answered yes, then come join us! The goal of the SNS is to provide adults with the training and resources they need to implement evidence-based improvement strategies to support the growth of students with significantly divergent social and emotional learning needs.

This four session cohort is designed to support educators serving students with disability-related needs in the areas of sensory and regulation. The way our body takes in, interprets and reacts to the world can vary for a variety of reasons. In this training participants will be introduced to this process and possible places students might be experiencing differences that cause unexpected reactions. Staying curious and learning more about a student's perspective and how their body is adapting can support educators and families to be able to support that student be the best them they can be. Through looking at our sensory processing systems and our regulatory systems we can build supports to help students navigate the world they are experiencing.

Location: CESA 2- Whitewater, WI
The ability to be a social partner is a complicated system. Many of us learned skills without much conscious awareness because the systems of learning matched the way our brain showed up. When our brain does not take in and process social information in the same way as those around us, it can result in a mismatch within our interactions. In this training we will explore components of how we socially communicate and, when our brain thinks differently, how that can cause a student to be misunderstood, have social mishaps or mismatched interactions. Communication modes and how we communicate in context will be addressed.
