Every educational leader* has always had the same goal: a school in which everyone flourishes – not just academically, but socially, psychologically and morally. It’s the HOW that has always proved challenging. Self-Regulation is needed now more than ever, as school leaders* confront ever-increasing challenges: explosive behaviour, mental health needs around every corner, staff shortages and burnout. And all this amid the important overarching goal of providing the best possible education to every child.
Meeting these challenges requires not just effort, inspiration and sound pedagogy, but also a deep understanding of the science of stress: how excess stress impacts learning and well-being, not just for students, but also for staff and leaders themselves, AND what to do about it. The HOW! That’s where Self-Reg comes in.
This 12-module certificate course, our most advanced course in professional applied Shanker Self-Reg®, is definitely not yet another program. Self-Reg and Leadership in Schools will enable educational leaders to harness and use the science of Self-Reg to build a supportive, inclusive centre of deep learning for all. Participants will learn, not only new ways to approach leadership, but also how Self-Reg can enhance the leadership knowledge, skills and priorities they already have and how to address the stressors that are impacting schools everywhere.
* includes teacher leaders, department heads, special education teachers, ECE leaders, school administrators, camp directors, professional learning leaders, teacher consultants and other school board staff.

Overall, I really appreciate this Self-Reg course. It has truly changed my perspective on self-regulation. Thank you to the Self-Reg team!
Structured independent learning allows me to use my free time to complete modules on my own schedule. I love the discussions initiated by members and enjoy learning various insights on the given topics.
So much learning, so meaningful
I can’t recommend this course enough to anyone who is already in leadership or hoping to move into leadership or with the power to engage with colleagues and change lives! This course is amazing and slowly builds your scientific knowledge and understanding to truly why Self-reg is a game changer. Stuart and Susan are as inspiring as always and leave me with hope for the system in which I work and in which my children are educated.
Learning happens when we are regulated and relational - this is Self-Reg!
Every school leader should have access to this course – thinking about the whole microclimate of the school ecology will enhance culture, wellbeing and student progress. If you don’t know much about Self-Reg yet, you’ll wonder why it’s taken so long! The science and relational approach brings into sharp focus the importance of ‘regulated and relational’ for learning outcomes. Leading a school with a Self-Reg lens benefits all; pupils, staff, families and wider communities. Learning to be more aware of Self-Reg will benefit everyone and everything. This is a foundation that we can build from with hope and optimism.
Onwards towards becoming a haven
Leadership is so critical to the wellbeing of all members of staff. I have shared the Leadership course ideas and principles with many leaders and staff at my school with very positive responses. The course presents immediately useable material , plans and approaches which can change and has changed the culture of the school in many aspects. It’s a process in progress to arrive at haven status , the learning and experimenting is exciting, there are many mistakes and re-takes to get it right but we derive energy from the clear evidence of successes to keep going to apply this leadership process.
Wonderful Learning Journey
I am so glad that I decided to take this course. It was such a wonderful learning experience that is so relevant to my journey both professionally and personally. I found the instructor, the participants, and the content of this course to be so inspiring. It will definitely reshape the way I look at behaviors and the way I respond to behaviors. I look forward to sharing my learning with my colleagues, my friends, and my family!! Thank you for such a wonderful opportunity to learn about self reg!!
