Hi Theresa! I agree that the approach to classroom order will change as we move into more heart space over time. I am pushing for Emotional Education and it would be say a weekly class of exercises and information. Once the policy of Emotional Education is established much like physical education is now established in all schools then the platform for continual evolution and change is possible. My current understanding is that emotional turmoil and all effects of ACEs is a habit. The place this habit resides is in our polyvagal, autonomic system that regulates our body but is also the place we form the habits of walking responding, talking, and feeling. These become preset patterns of behaviour and responses. OK think you change habits by forming new stronger better habits. Thus Emotional Education is about creating new habits of feeling and thinking that have better results for the behaviour of the child. Think also of choice. Acting out behaviour is not a choice. It is a reaction habit. To have a choice you have to install the choice first. The more choices that are installed by creating new habits and exploring choices, "THEN" a choice can be made. ( because you have several choices available to you.)
This is what Emotional Education class 101 would look like done say once a week. This is only one slice of the pie. Teacher training and a safe room and policy changes and all that the successful communities are dong is the rest of the pie.
