This course (1 hour Live Webinar, Synchronous Distance Learning) will be focused on regulation and co-regulation strategies to utilize in the classroom, and school wide (Tier 1). Through the exploration of breathwork and movement strategies, school social workers will learn to tailor their regulation strategies to meet the needs of all students they work with. We will dive into strategies of mindfulness practices to enhance and promote better SEL Instruction for the school social worker to employ at their school.
Learning Objectives:
Objective 1: Participants will learn yoga, breathwork and mindfulness-based strategies they can use to regulate and co-regulate with the students they serve.
Speaker: Emily Fleming is the founder of Yoga In Classrooms And Schools Consulting (YCSC). YCSC works works with schools, school districts, and other education focused organizations to develop tailor-made, impactful, and long-term yoga and mindfulness programming for students, staff, and families through a model of long-term coaching and support, cross-curricular integration and the creation of culturally relevant programming aligned to the needs, values, and goals of the school community.
Emily (M.A.T., RYT500, RCYT) is both a certified educator with over a decade of classroom teaching experience, and a certified yoga instructor. After two years teaching on the West side of Chicago as a Teach for America Corps Member, and an additional year teaching on the South Side, Emily moved to Baltimore to pursue her dream of teaching yoga as a daily, for-credit enrichment class in a middle school.
Emily spent the last 8 years of her teaching career doing just that - teaching yoga and mindfulness as a daily enrichment class at a middle school in Baltimore, MD. After developing a 3-year curriculum focused on using yoga and mindfulness as a means of exploring SEL competencies, and incorporating Project Based Learning and Arts Integration into the curriculum, Emily founded Yoga In Classrooms and Schools Consulting in early 2022, and now works with schools, school districts, and other youth serving organizations all over the country to help them develop and implement customized yoga and mindfulness programming.
