In Educators’ Words

Reflections from teachers who attended an Emotional Schools workshop

Ian T. - Alberta
“THE much needed shift to trauma informed practice-not as a "gentle- parenting” approach, but as practical steps to engaging students where they are at in order to help them move forward."
Lane H. -SD23 -BC
“Society has changed and public school hasn't adapted (Mindfulness blindness). Emotional Intelligence is the best weapon and it needs to be taught.”
Noah K. – SD36, BC
“Teaching  isn’t about being soft, it’s about being real. This work gave us practical ways to respond to students instead of reacting, and it finally matched the reality of our classrooms.”
Tracy H - SD73, BC
"My hope was to tech calm and this workshop will create calm through the common language."

Renee M. - SD 5 - BC
“Every school needs this workshop. It has the potential to change our schools and our systems!”

 Anissa P. - SD73, BC
“I’m so thankful to have attended this workshop! You’re a great presenter, thanks for keeping things real. Looking forward to seeing the changes this framework brings for our school community!”
Ryan M. - SD 53, BC
“A shared language and goals in a social emotional program is as, if not more, important as any other curricular program. The Emotional Schools Framework is it!”
Kristen D. – Alberta
“Finally, a workshop that acknowledged how hard teaching is, and Leroy showed us how to respond with clarity instead of burnout.”
