This webinar takes a compassionate look at how the most well-meaning educators and schools can unwittingly end up in a compliance-based model in response to the unsustainable pressures of behavior management and curricular expectations central to modern schooling.

We consider both the ethical and pragmatic benefits of fostering intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivation, helping students recognize and align with their core values rather than blindly adopt the agenda of others, and even self-advocate and question authority responsibly and effectively.

Participants will:

• Understand how some unwanted behaviors in schools are actually fear-based, and how identifying the underlying fear can help prevent emotion contagion.
• Learn specific and effective tools to foster “student voice and choice” to improve classroom cooperation, motivation and engagement.
• Develop self-compassion and self-insight to build the internal freedom required for adults to courageously share power with students.
