SUMMARY:Distressed or Deliberately Defiant? with Dr Judith Howard
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all experienced the annoyance of having to deal with poor behaviour in our schools and classrooms.  Does your school have students that… \n\nCan be verbally and physically aggressive for little reason.\nMay fly into behavioural outbursts with little warning and as a result of no clear triggers.\nYou may suspect or know they have or had a problematic home environment.\nYou just can’t seem to get through to them – or when you do – they tend to sabotage the relationship.\nYour “tried and true” behaviour support techniques just don’t seem to work and they can end up being withdrawn from class activities\, removed from class\, suspended or even excluded.\nYour “gut instinct” seems to tell you that there is something that is just not quite right with these kids!\n\nEvery so often though\, particular students can present as exceptionally difficult to manage.  These kids are not your usual behaviour support cases – there is something more complex underlying their situations and they present quite serious challenges to our schools. \nGrounded in attachment theory and neuroscience research\, this seminar will explore why these children and young people often defy rules and authority\, can sabotage even the most supportive of relationships and can continually put themselves at-risk. Participants will explore the reasons why students who have experienced trauma and a poor attachment to their primary caregiver/s in early childhood – behave in the way they do in primary and secondary school.  They will also examine why our “usual” or ”traditional” behaviour management systems have so little impact on these behaviours (or even sometimes make things worse)! Helpful behaviour support approaches\, strategies\, and resources will be provided and discussed. \nThis is a “must do training” for all school personnel who work with students with extreme and challenging behaviour\, who have suffered trauma and maltreatment. Professionals who receive referrals from schools to assist with difficult students\, will also find this training valuable in understanding the challenges teachers/schools face and the effective strategies that can be used to co-manage behaviour and support out of school therapeutic interventions. \nDr Judith Howard is a senior lecturer and researcher with the Queensland University of Technology. She also has an extensive history with the State Education System in Queensland during which she has worked as a teacher\, a school counsellor\, a child and adolescent behaviour specialist and has held both Regional and State positions overseeing behaviour support processes in Qld schools.  Dr Howard has a passion for educating educators and other professionals from government and non-government agencies who are involved in the support of children and young people presenting with challenging school behaviour. She is particularly focused on the concerns of students from attachment/trauma histories. In 2013 she published the highly acclaimed book Distressed or Deliberately Defiant? \n

SUMMARY:The Developing Brain with Nathan Wallis NZ
DESCRIPTION:The last decade could rightfully be called the ‘decade of the brain’ as advances in medical and neuroscience have deepened our understanding of brain development and cognitive functioning\, more than any other period before. Much of the public discussion has related to new knowledge of infant’s brains\, however\, just as many amazing are discoveries have been made relating to brain development and functioning from childhood right through to late adolescence. \nThese findings often contradict many of the long-held practices that helping professionals\, teachers and parents have viewed as best practice. The result is that there is now a large gap between how people ‘think’ the developing brain functions and what neuroscience research has actually shown to be the case. An understanding of this knowledge and its practical application will help to guide your practice to better meet the behavioural\, developmental and educational needs of the children\, adolescents and families you work with. \nYou will learn: \n\nHow a child’s brain works and matures including the different parts of the brain such as the frontal cortex\, the influence of plasticity\, and the reptilian brain.\nWhat the research has shown about the ideal physical\, emotional\, educational and social conditions under which the developing brain functions at its best.\nWhat are the implications of this knowledge for professional practice and parenting with children and adolescents? What approaches and interventions work best from a neuroscience perspective and how to turn an outburst\, argument or fear into a chance to integrate a child’s brain and foster vital social and emotional development.\nFrom a neuroscience perspective\, what are the common pitfalls parents\, teachers\, and helping professionals make when working with young people and which of our current approaches have been shown to be less helpful then we thought.\nPractice considerations when working with children and adolescents who have experienced early life trauma which may have impacted upon their early brain development.\n\nThis is an invaluable workshop for professionals working with children\, young people and families looking to reinvigorate their practice and enhance their understanding of clients’ needs. Full of “aha!” moments\, this workshop focuses on different discoveries in neuroscience\, explains them in plain English and provides guidance on how to put this knowledge to practical use in the classroom\, therapy room and home\, with recommendations backed by evidence from neuroscience for optimum social and emotional well-being. Nathan’s vast knowledge in this area\, combined with his interactive and engaging teaching style and thoughtful use of case study material has made him one of Compass’s most requested speakers. \nNathan Wallis is an Educational Psychologist with a practice background in teaching\, counselling and child therapy. He is a  sought after trainer in the area of neuroscience research and its implications for practice. He has appeared on television and radio as a guest expert on parenting\, teaching and the understanding the developing brain of young people. \n
