About the Course

We know co-regulation matters. But how do we put it into practice in the busy reality of early learning classrooms?

This engaging, experiential workshop explores how you can support your students’ nervous system, foster connections and create a calmer classroom by offering daily Peace Pauses – opportunities to move, breathe, up or down regulate, and come to that ‘just right’ space between calm and alert where inspired learning and teaching happens.

Throughout the workshop, you will experience the transformational power of Peace Pauses – just a few minutes of simple, co-regulation techniques using movement, breath and mindfulness to help you and the group pause, connect and reset together.

Importantly, Peace Pauses are not a behaviour guidance tool; they are a nervous system reset. Their design is to ‘regulate the room’ not the individual child, to minimise challenging behaviors and disruptions before they happen.

Outcomes

The Karma Classroom workshop is an interactive and experiential PD that has two very specific purposes:

1. To offer you opportunities to feel and identify dysregulation in your own body and how easily it can be shifted;
2. To learn how to bring Peace Pauses to life in your classroom as daily rituals to support regulation, reduce stress and promote wellbeing for both you and your students. The Karma Classroom Activity Cards support this purpose.

Workshop Materials 

• Included is a pack of Karma Classroom Activity Cards – 80 A5 cards with over 100 Peace Pause activities, grouped across 9 categories
• A series of 5 weekly hints and tips emails post the workshop to help embed Peaced Pauses into daily practice.
• Beth will talk with the group about scheduling a follow-up coaching call to check in, ask questions, and review. This will be optional to attend.

Delivery Method

• 3 hours in duration, live and experiential.
• You will be interacting with other participants and the presenter, so video and audio is mandatory.
• Completing this course contributes to 3 hours of professional learning.
• A Certificate will be provided for full participation.
