A collaboration of AIELOC, International Schools Services, Diversity Collaborative. Here is an updated list of diverse facilitators and consultants who offer professional learning experiences that educate and inspire us to be agents of change in education. We see you!

A key to regulating emotions is to treat them like visitors in your home. "I'm angry" lets a feeling take permanent residence. "I'm hosting some anger today" is a reminder that not all guests are welcome. Emotions may drop in unannounced, but we decide which ones get to stay.

Are your students, and the teachers in your school, able to feel psychologically safe in the space which you create for them? Dr. Jo Kim asks. A great checklist! EARCOS #deij #belonging #wellbeing #mentalhealth

Looking forward to reading one of my favourite books this week to Upper Primary as we explore body signals and emotions. ‘What Feelings Do When No One’s Looking’ 😍 #emotionalliteracy #positiveeducation

All feelings are OK was the message to Upper Primary as we explored feelings that are Comfortable and Uncomfortable, with some insightful conversations about body signals. #emotionalliteracy #PositiveEducation #protectivebehaviours

Through inquiring, a Year 5 student developed her own understanding of feelings and emotions that are comfortable to have. #iseepyp

Taking a different approach to introducing #Zonesofregulation through focusing on body signals. Students came up with ways to categorise how their body feels.

Would love to hear from anyone using the WA protective behaviours lessons.

Knowledge is power for children managing big emotions. Understanding how their brain works and the connection between thinking and feeling is such valuable learning.

“Teacher wellbeing is directly linked to student success and achievement. Happy teachers are more likely to create effective learning environments.” Tiffani Nutter, Personal Development Skills Lecturer, Prince Sultan University, led session on teacher trauma. #IBGC2023

Picture books are a powerful tool to develop social and emotional skills. A successful lesson working with a class to develop problem solving strategies after reading The Recess Queen. What would we do if Mean Jean was in our playground?! #positiveeducation #socialskills

Crucial conversations about Consent, Respect and Body Safety in Lower Primary. With open minded, honest conversations came an important message of speaking up.

The older (or wiser) I get the more I enjoy deliberately doing hard things and really having to focus in order to be successful. From ultramarathons to now studying Neuroscience, it’s all hard and it’s all good!

Kindness counts! 🧡

do you know your worth?

We're kicking off the new “Best Of Series” with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett (Lisa Feldman Barrett), a world-renowned affective neuroscientist. In this episode, we talked about her theory of constructed emotion and other surprising truths about the human brain. 🎙 Listen here:

If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we might just set the world in the right direction ❤️🌍 #WorldKindnessDay

The Circle of Control has been very effective to introduce to 6 and 7 year olds who have been finding it hard to lose well and to accept things can’t always go their way in card games!

Principles for change: Know your why. Start small. Motivation follows action. Community makes everything easier. Stay consistent. Expect acute failures, and be ready to bounce back. Build flexibility into your plan. Focus on progress not perfection.

Looking forward to diving into my next module ‘Mental Health in the Community’, for my Masters in Psychology and the Neuroscience of Mental Health. #MentalHealthMatters #loveoflearning
