Workshops for Schools
While teaching is rewarding, it is intense work and can be draining. Highly Sensitive people make excellent teachers; however, some common conditions and ways of working in schools can make it challenging for them to thrive and reach their full potential. Schools can lose some of their best teaching staff when this is not addressed.
This is also true for Highly Sensitive children, who are naturally conscientious, and curious, independent learners, but can be adversely affected by common conditions in the school environment. Informed leaders and teachers can make a great difference to their wellbeing.

I provide two tailored workshops for schools:
1. Workplace Wellbeing for Maximum Potential
2-hour presentation & workshop for school leaders and teachers. Includes education about High Sensitivity and its benefits for the workplace, recommendations, and developing plans to implement these.
Expected results include increased teacher effectiveness, engagement, and overall well-being, and decreased teacher attrition (especially of new teachers) and performance-reducing stress levels.
2. Helping Highly Sensitive Students to Thrive
2-hour presentation & workshop for teachers and other staff involved in student well-being. Includes education about High Sensitivity in children, recommendations, and developing plans to implement these.
Expected results include improved student academic performance, classroom participation, social engagement, and emotional regulation, along with better overall well-being. Decreased negative behaviours due to over-stimulation, withdrawal, and social disengagement.
Ideally, you'll want to have both of these, a few months apart (to give time to implement changes and assess results). You can begin with either workshop, depending on your school's current needs and focus. Schools can also choose just one workshop - although benefits will be compounded by focusing on both areas.
* If your school cannot afford the time for a 2-hour workshop, you can choose, instead, a 1-hour presentation.
Here, I will set out the need-to-know information, and give recommendations based on the chosen focus (as per workshops - 1 or 2).
A more comprehensive and lasting result is likely to be gained by the complete workshop, of course. The cost in time and teacher substitution is well worth it.
