What do we mean when we say “engagement?”

Engagement means something different now that we are engaging in a remote environment. Understanding how the brain engages (or doesn’t) is critical for planning and instruction and can directly impact student learning. This session will offer an opportunity to explore the multiple types of pathways learning can occur while honing in on the sequence of engagement that all humans use to access new information.

Supporting Self-Regulation

Self-regulation is certainly a buzzword. We all want to know how to self-regulate, and how to teach our kids to do the same. But is it really as simple as taking 3 deep breaths? And if it is, why does that work? What if 3 deep breaths supports self-regulation, what else does the same?

Explore all of these questions and more in the third session of the brain-based series.

Dare to Lead for Educators (Virtual)

The Regional Office of Education #1 is proud to host a Dare to Lead virtual delivery workshop for regional educators. Based on the research of Dr. Brené, Dare to Lead™, offered by Julie Boll Consulting, is an empirically based courage-building program. The Dare to Lead™ program is designed for individuals and teams who are ready to embrace brave leadership, shed their armor, and show up with whole hearts in their work and life. To scale daring leadership and build courage in teams and organizations, we must cultivate a culture in which brave work, tough conversations, and whole hearts are the expectation, and armor is not necessary or rewarded.
