Location

In Person St. Paul Centre 124-24 Ave. NE, Calgary, AB

TARGET AUDIENCE: GRADE 7-12 TEACHERS AND EA'S ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

Strength-based approaches to supporting students are rooted in the belief that we all have areas of competency, that we’re capable of learning and growing, and that we can all be involved in the process of our own growth.  With a focus on growth and possibility, we move away from a deficit orientation and towards a place of co-constructing positive senses of self alongside the students we work with. Join this session to learn more about how you can build on strengths and promote strong senses of agency in the students that you work with to empower their independence, strengthen their mental health, and ignite their personal growth. Walk away with strategies you can use in your classrooms the next day! 

 We will explore:

  • self-regulation
  • growth mindset
  • social emotional learning
  • designing classroom routines that support the mental health needs of every student, every day

This learning opportunity is being offered through a mental health grant from Alberta Education
