A Better Normal- Education Upended- The PolyVagal Theory, Notions of Safety, and the Return to School

 

Please join us tomorrow, Thursday July 23rd as Emily Read Daniels and myself facilitate a discussion around what we can learn from the PolyVagal theory and cultivating a felt sense of safety as we plan to retun to school.  We will do a brief presentation and then breakout session to discuss in small groups.

Weekly themes include: How do we create physical and psychological safety, especially in the face of so much uncertainty? What strategies can we use to create a culture of collective care? How do we implement peer support structures for youth AND adults? What might the first two weeks of school look like with an emphasis on student and adult well-being? How do we manage the transition while acknowledging our collective grief and trauma? How might we build anti-racist schools and keep equity front and center of our policies? In what ways can we lift up and empower youth voices in education?

Our current capacity is 100 participants, so please join us on time and we will enter people until we reach capacity. These will be recorded and available on the ACEsConnection website and YouTube channel. Zoom meeting info below.

Lara Kain, ACEs In Education community manager for ACEs Connection, will lead the discussion along with other special guests and co-hosts.

If you want to catch up on past Better Normal-Education Upended we now have our own dedicated YouTube channel

I can not participate tomorrow,  but am guessing that polyvagal theory would say that face masks (no pun intended) are antithetical to safety...

 

Not to mention starting the day with "hold still" while we shoot you in the forehead with a temperature "gun"...
