The Power of Adult Posture: Creating the Conditions for Children's Learning, Engagement, and Well-Being
LIMITED1.25 PD
Monday September 21, 2026 9:00am - 10:15am EDT
187-RHS: B-120 @ 530 Rue Northcote, Rosemère, QC J7A 1Y2, Canada
Limited Capacity seats available
Children's development is shaped not only by what adults teach, but by how adults show up in relationship with them each day. Through their presence, responses, and interactions, educators create the emotional climate that influences children's sense of safety, belonging, behaviour, engagement, and capacity to learn. Drawing on developmental science, attachment theory, and practical classroom experiences, participants will explore how adult posture influences children's behaviour, emotional regulation, sense of self, and willingness to engage in learning. Through practical examples and guided reflection, participants will discover how intentional, relationship-based interactions can foster healthy development, strengthen connections, and create the conditions in which children can thrive. This presentation is relevant to ALL STAFF at any grade level.

Tools for Attention is an interactive session designed to equip teachers with practical, actionable strategies to boost and sustain student focus through proactive environmental and instructional shifts. Throughout this workshop, we will dive into high-impact in-class strategies to maintain engagement, discuss how to intentionally utilize flexible seating to meet diverse sensory needs, and share quick, purposeful movement breaks that reset young minds. Although this session is open to all teachers looking to sharpen their classroom management toolkit, the core strategies are primarily tailored for elementary teachers. Come ready to collaborate and walk away with a tangible set of tools ready for immediate, next-day implementation!
