Children cannot learn when they are feeling anxious, sad, distracted, worried or grumpy.
In fact, no one can!
A Unique Approach to Creating the Space for Inspired Learning
Introducing Peace Pauses to create that 'just right' space between calm and alert.
The Karma Classroom PD workshop empowers educators to create a calm and inspired classroom environment by weaving pauses into the day. Within these pauses children breathe, up or down regulate, move to oxygenate brain + body, and find that ‘just right’ space between calm and alert.
We call these Peace Pauses, and it is within this space that children become more present and are better able focus, learn and play. They also learn skills to self-regulate and manage those bigger feelings, developing essential life skills to carry them through childhood and adolescence, and into adulthood.
Requires just minutes a day to make a difference + no changes to the curriculum are required.
Your educators will notice a difference in their stress levels too, and adopting a consistent approach for all educators helps build more cohesion across teaching teams.
