Gaining Your Classroom Without Losing your Mind

Halls 1 & 2
Limited Capacity seats available
Every teacher remembers the moment. The lesson plan is solid, the materials are prepped, the coffee is still warm — and then everything unravels. Gaining Your Classroom without Losing Your Mind is a fun, highly interactive course designed for K–12 educators who want to build thriving classroom communities without burning themselves out in the process. Rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL) strategies, restorative practices, and the everyday realities of teaching, this course offers a fresh framework for thinking about what classroom management really means — and what it could look like when we stop treating it as a battle to be won. We became teachers to make a difference. Let's make sure we have the tools — and the energy — to do exactly that.
