Personal Boundaries: Reinventing Classroom "Rules"

1.5 CPDs, Run Time: 48:15

Your students' emotional intelligence and ability to self-regulate prove to be among the most important factors that contribute to the emotional and spiritual environment in the classroom. In this workshop, classroom rules are reframed as personal boundaries, which promote social emotional language, conflict resolution, and self-responsibility. Teachers will walk away from this presentation with three personal boundaries they can use immediately in their classroom to foster core building blocks in emotional intelligence, such as interdependence, compassion, and understanding of perspectives.
