As teachers it is difficult to pinpoint why a child is behaving a certain way or what could be causing their inability to focus or stay on task. When we begin to suspect there may be more underlying concerns we again find it difficult to pinpoint the reason or cause. 

So many factors are involved in understanding, seeing, and catering to each child individually. If we suspect there may be some ADHD characteristics it can help to understand how they present. 

If you think your staff would benefit from understanding how to spot a child needing extra support or how to build your toolkit for better support this is the training for you.

This 1 hour webinar can be purcashed for staff meetings as a pre-recorded training or live delivered by Dominique.

Dominique is excited to visit your facility to provide students with an understanding behind big feelings and the way this can impact so many facets of their lives from friendships to schoolwork and beyond. By supporting your students with language to help build their library of knowledge they can better cope with social challenges, emotional meltdowns and difficult developmental milestones.

As an experienced teacher, Dominique suggests these sessions are booked according to stages as the content of discussion would vary slightly. If the school gains positive feedback and would be interested in securing workshop sessions (currently in development) this can be organised. These sessions are ideal for Book Week, Education Week or special events within schools.

Please note this session is free but does require the school to purchase a set of books for their school library and send out a flyer via school communications.

Understanding behaviour is not always something we are taught but rather learn on the job. Understanding what drives behaviour and what impacts the choices kids make can help us to navigate challenging situations. Connecting with children is one of the most important components of the teaching profession but it is often undervalued in respect of all the expectations on learning.

These professional development sessions are designed to inspire teachers to prioritise the child over the content. Understand that for a child to learn, the conditions need to feel safe and secure. Without a genuine connection with your students, this can have impact on increasing behavioural issues and disengagement within the classroom.

An educator, author and parent of four, Dominique brings her unique experience and knowledge of what the classroom really needs and how challenging this can be in the current environment.

This session requires space to use a screen to present notes and a staff willing to be inspired. Follow-up training sessions can be booked.
