About the course

During this course participants will gain the knowledge to introduce and implement 123 Magic and Emotion
Coaching in the Classroom.
This training provides teachers with a flexible and effective approach to manage children's common and disruptive behaviour in classrooms, while also teaching self-regulation. The approach is complimentary to those practices which are aimed at teaching positive behaviour. The easy to use techniques can be taught to staff which results in a consistent approach to help children develop more self-control and to respond more flexibly to frustration and upsets.

It has been introduced as a whole school approach to over 100 WA and NT schools with excellent outcomes.   Whether implemented in one classroom or across the whole school, the feedback and results obtained from educators are (according to them) very satisfying.  

An optional free 2 hour follow-up session will also be provided in September.
