Visit our Harold Alfond Center Workforce Development Funding page for more information. \nProgram description \nHave you ever felt like you were more of a problem-solver than a teacher? Your best-made lesson plans are delayed by listening to your students argue about a problem that occurred at recess. You deal with this stress by addressing the class in a way that you regret.

Our doubts as caregivers and teachers are inevitable. If we have a system to refer to when these doubts creep in\, we can relax. \nLearn how to manage your classroom/learning environment with a practical\, simple curriculum based on Nonviolent Communication expert Gina Simm鈥檚 book Heart to Heart: Three Systems for Staying Connected (A Manual for Parents and Teachers). Through participating in this course\, you鈥檒l learn how to use practical systems to maintain the heart-to-heart connections that support children鈥檚 ability to self-regulate and improve their emotional intelligence. \nParticipants are encouraged (though not required) to purchase instructor Gina Simm鈥檚 book\, Heart to Heart: Three Systems for Staying Connected (A Manual for Parents and Teachers).* \nPROGRAM BENEFITS \nLearn how to manage conflict in your classroom \nBuild an understanding of Nonviolent Communication methods \nUnderstand the power of children鈥檚 books to support social-emotional learning (SEL) \nRecognize the difference between empathy and problem solving \nTransform your learning environment! \nTOPICS COVERED \nThis course provides a full social-emotional curriculum based on Nonviolent Communication principles.
