Regulation and Co-Regulation Stragegies for the Classroom (1.0 CE)

This course is focused on regulation and co-regulation strategies that school social workers can use in the classroom and model for school-wide (Tier 1) approaches on their school campus to tailor strategies to meet the needs of all students they work with through mindfulness, yoga, and social-emotional connection. This course is 1.0 CE

Course Description: This course is focused on regulation and co-regulation strategies to utilize in the classroom, and school-wide (Tier 1). Through the exploration of breathwork and movement strategies, school social workers will learn to tailor their regulation strategies to meet the needs of all students they work with. We will dive into strategies of mindfulness practices to enhance and promote better SEL Instruction for the school social worker to employ at their school.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn yoga, breathwork and mindfulness-based strategies they can use to regulate and co-regulate with the students they serve.
2. Participants will reflect on which learned strategies and skills they find most beneficial and identify when, why, (and possibly, with whom), they'll use them.
3. Participants will identify the importance of regulation and co-regulation, and how breathwork, mindfulness, and movement can help them do so.
