CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT THROUGH CONNECTION & COMPASSION

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT THROUGH CONNECTION & COMPASSION
February 5th & 12th 2011
FOR K-12 TEACHERS
(any teachers are welcome)
ONE SALARY POINT AVAILABLE FOR LAUSD TEACHERS

It’s pretty tough for teachers in most of our schools. They have to handle huge classes, restrictive curricula, and often the only techniques they’ve
been taught for “classroom management” are ones that use punishment and reward to attempt to control behavior. This class will introduce teachers to a new paradigm for classroom management, built on respect and support.

The Class will cover: Effective tools for improve classroom management, Nonviolent communication skills, Managing teachers’ and students’ anger, Building students’ emotional intelligence, Working “together with” parents
rather than “against” Understanding children’s brain development & self-regulation and Much more...

This class will be held at The Echo Center, 1226 N. Alvarado St, Los Angeles, CA 90026. Please call us for directions or more information.

Fee: $125 per person.
Some scholarships available.

About Nonviolence The term “nonviolence” describes a commitment to treat oneself and others with deep respect. It is a belief in the basic goodness of all living things. Nonviolence is an all-encompassing perspective. It includes our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. What we think and say matters.

The philosophy and practice of nonviolence in parenting applies the ideas of nonviolence to the relationship between parents and children. Their connection allows the child to learn to be a caring and empathetic human being, fulfilling his or her own dreams and wishes and at the same time supporting the dreams and wishes of others. Violence begets violence, while nonviolence begets nonviolence.

We are raising children with care. We are raising children to care.
