The Goodness Model for Education

-

What brings about success in working with your students is not your instructional expertise but your humanness. That is the basic belief behind a new paradigm in education: The Goodness Model for Education. 

It is a simple, ready-to-use plan of action appropriate for any school population or school environment, and leads to self-understanding, connection, well-being, and excellence in performance.

Through flexible and elegant practices, the Goodness Model shows you (and your students) how to tap into your innate “core of goodness” to bring forth super-abilities to change, grow and adapt, especially in our constantly changing educational landscape and rapidly spiraling world. The following offers the benefits that you will gain by participating in this workshop.

The Goodness Model for Education...

  • presents an adaptable plan of action and accompanying exercises;
  • emphasizes creative approaches to behavioral change and emotional regulation;
  • builds interactions around purpose and service to others;
  • builds community and collaborative classrooms;
  • stresses the need to be valued, and to value others;
  • instructs in positivity, connection and understanding;
  • creates a mindset of gratitude and compassion;
  • promotes efficacy, mastery and success;
  • demonstrates through interventions how to be feel safe in your body; and
  • cultivates coherence, balance and wellness

Warning: This workshop may cause happiness!

Please Note: There are opportunities for educators to become trainers for The Goodness Model. Information will be given at the workshop.

Video-Recorded Virtual (Zoom) Sessions and Tips to Maintain your Privacy during a Recorded Session:  All of our virtually-delivered programs are video recorded and accessible to workshop registrants, Professional Learning Consortium Members, and education professional constituents subsequent to the session. Therefore, each virtually-delivered workshop and webinar will have Zoom’s Recording Disclaimer enabled by default. With this feature, attendees will receive a notification when a recording starts or if they join a session that is already being recorded. The participant can then consent to stay in the session and be recorded or choose to leave the session altogether.

Tips to Maintain your Privacy during a Virtually-Delivered Session: Actively engaging in Zoom sessions is important. Participants may have concerns, however, of a Zoom session recording capturing their participation. Meeting hosts or instructors are taking steps to minimize this concern. In addition to the consent, participants can also use the following steps and features to take control of what is shared when a session is being recorded.

  • Change your participant name displayed in Zoom (e.g. only use your first name, replace your name)
  • Disable your video
  • Mute your audio
  • Do not communicate via the chat feature
  • Do not upload an identifiable profile photo

Please refer to Zoom’s Attendee Controls for more information on how to use these features.
