A school gives us countless opportunities to wonder about stress, behaviour, learning, relationships, and ourselves. Why can a student manage something one day but not another? Why does the same environment affect two students so differently? What changes when we look beneath the behaviour we’re seeing?
Shanker Self-Reg® gives educators, education assistants, school leaders, and school communities a way to explore these questions through the science of stress and brain-body state. The Five Domains help us widen the lens beyond any single explanation, while The Shanker Method® gives us a way to keep asking, noticing, learning, and responding.
Self-Reg isn’t something we do to students. The science applies to all of us, including the adults who share classrooms, hallways, staff rooms, and school communities with them.
We’ve gathered different ways to explore Self-Reg in schools, from something you can read or watch today to deeper individual, team, and school learning.
