The Calm and Connected Classroom Training Overview

You don’t have a ton of extra time on your hands. That’s why this course is light on frills and full of practical knowledge and skills you can implement immediately.

This course contains four entirely self-paced modules. Each module includes:
• Course material review (estimated 1-2 hours/module)
• Reflection and Self-Assessment
• Additional Resources (estimated 3-4 hours)
• Learning in Action: Implementation & Documentation (estimated 3-4 hours/module to implement, 1 hour to reflect, document, and submit)

Why Your Classroom Needs This Training

Teaching has never been more challenging. Between managing disruptive behaviors, helping distracted students focus, and maintaining your own well-being, it’s no wonder educators are feeling overwhelmed.

You’ve likely tried countless classroom management strategies with mixed results. The problem isn’t your dedication—it’s that traditional approaches don’t address the root cause: students’ underdeveloped self-regulation skills.

This comprehensive SEL training changes everything. You’ll build a strong foundation in the FocusedKids approach, master evidence-based self-regulation and mindfulness techniques, learn to integrate brain-based language into your teaching, and gain practical tools that transform classroom dynamics. The result? A calmer, more focused classroom where both you and your students thrive.
