Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the presentation, participants will be able to:
Morning Session: The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is a set of strategies for helping children (and adults) use their intensity in successful ways and awaken to their greatness. NHA cultivates intrinsic motivation for academic and pro-social growth. While initially designed for behaviorally challenged students, NHA's impact extends to all children, fostering profound change. By harnessing students' intensity constructively, NHA empowers educators to forge impactful relationships, crafting an ideal environment for enhanced learning.
Afternoon Session:
Students often lack the skills and have difficulty recognizing opportunities to regulate their emotions. Transition resets imbed mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques into students’ daily school routines. With frequent repetition, resetting can become a transferable skill that is easily accessed when students are overwhelmed. The more students learn the value of resetting the more they will begin to learn to reset themselves and others. Participants will learn strategies for developing a reset paradigm in the classroom and the entire school, along with practical techniques for implementation.
